Chapter 650: The Power of Mathematics(1/2)
Zhu Changluo's idea of drawing middle and lower-level officers from the Jiubian important town was also formed recently.
During this period, Zhu Changluo kept thinking about how to change the current situation of Xuan and the two towns. Later, Zhu Changluo finally thought of a solution, which was to start with the middle and lower-level officers.
These people cannot participate in the decision-making between the generals and generals, but they can each bring hundreds or thousands of soldiers with them to defend the side. In a sense, these people have the prestige and ability at the grassroots level in the Ming army.
Moreover, at the most important time, these people were not valued much, and could only live for generations outside the power margin of the military town, but they could also influence the soldiers at the bottom.
Therefore, they were recruited into the military academy in batches to arrange their studies, so that they could get different expectations and hopes in their military academy study career, and instilled Zhu Changluo's thoughts into them.
In this battle, there are more batches of rotation and enough time. Zhu Changluo can naturally use the powers of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army to promote these outstanding performances.
At the same time, when these people are drawn, outstanding students trained in the military academy can be placed into the middle and lower-level military officer system of Jiubian with the opportunity of learning and training.
As time goes by, the middle and lower levels of military officers will become emerging military forces with military academy origins as a force.
At that time, it would be easy for Zhu Changluo to change the military system of the Nine Borders.
However, this process may be a little longer.
However, Zhu Changluo is not afraid. He is still young and has time.
It is possible to change the current situation of the Ming border army in the form of a silent and boiling frog in warm water, making it a military force loyal to oneself.
The current generals and generals are all bold!
Although they enjoyed the salary of the court and enjoyed the official position of the court, their personalities were too heavy.
This is especially true for those generals and generals who are in key positions!
As an example, the Qibai Rebellion in the 20th year of Wanli, Qibai was originally a naturalized Ming general in Mongolia, but in the end he was promoted from a guerrilla general to the position of deputy general in the Ming army system.
However, this person is ungrateful!
He learned from the bad habits of the Han generals and raised private soldiers in the name of servants.
Originally, Qibai had no intention of causing trouble, and he retired peacefully.
As a result, a tribal rebellion occurred in Taohe area. The warm-hearted young man in the ancient road wanted to ask for a battle with Taohe, but was rejected by the then governor.
However, the governor did not suppress the rebellion in Taohe and returned in great defeat, which made Vebai feel unfair and began to rebel without returning.
And his rebellious family background was the three thousand servants he raised!
These three thousand servants were all elite soldiers armed with the money and food of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, these people only recognized the people and refused to the court.
From this we can see that the corruption of the Nine Borders is by no means the incompetent governor and the general's cowardly fighting, but because these people have too much selfishness.
He should regard the money and grain given by the court as his own money and grain.
Then, while enslaving local military households to farm and serve as slaves, they began to raise private soldiers in the name of servants.
These private soldiers are their own private armed forces. When they don’t really encounter any trouble, they will not rush to the front line.
Therefore, these private soldiers naturally became grateful to them.
This caused the court to spend a huge amount of money and food, and eventually raised a large number of borers lying on the Ming Dynasty and sucking bones and marrow.
If this continues, can the borders of the Ming Dynasty be well guarded?
The answer is definitely not good.
Therefore, in order to change this situation and to enable the Ming army to directly obey the court's orders again, Zhu Changluo must change the situation.
Transfer the Ming army from private to the court, and then to one's own hands.
Wherever Zhu Changluo finally imagined that the Ming army would be royalized.
If they want to become the private army of the Ming emperor, no one can get involved except the Ming emperor!
Even the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army could not command them, and their only audible arrangement was the emperor's imperial edict!
Of course, this road is still very long, and now it has just begun.
It’s still a long way to go, but the road is long and difficult!
Zhu Changluo, who had been resting for a while, finally withdrew his thoughts.
At this time, Sun Xian reminded again: "Master, the Qionglin Banquet has begun."
Zhu Changluo got up and moved for a while, and said, "Let's go."
Five thousand people gathered in the auditorium of Xishan Academy, and large round tables were placed on the vacant spaces on the first and second floors of the auditorium.
There were twenty or thirty people sitting around each round table. These people were wearing official uniforms and sitting together nervously, with the excitement in their eyes being beyond words.
At this moment, they all looked forward to waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
I don’t know how long it took, and a loud shout sounded in the auditorium, “The Holy Prince is here!”
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by this sentence, and everyone stood up and bowed in one direction.
"I welcome the Holy Prince!"
Zhu Changluo stalked into the auditorium during the reception of everyone and walked straight to a huge round table at the top of the auditorium.
Zhu Changluo looked at everyone and stretched out his hand and said, "Flat."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
At this moment, everyone stood up again and focused all their eyes on Zhu Changluo.
Zhu Changluo raised the wine glass on the table and said, "Please take your seat. This Enke Qionglin Banquet is a celebration banquet held by Gu for the newly promoted bachelors. You are the protagonists of this banquet. Gu is a guest today. You can enjoy it as much as you want, don't care about the etiquette of the king and the ministers."
After hearing this, everyone bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Then, everyone began to sit down one after another.
Zhu Changluo also sat down. In addition to the eight ministers from the Cabinet Military Affairs Office, the rest were the first three in Enke Mathematics and the first three in the Fan Language Department.
These six new Ensciences sat together with the Crown Prince and the Minister of Military Affairs of the Cabinet Minister, and seemed even more nervous and excited.
Such an honor, and they have never had such an honor, compared to the top scorers of the previous generation!
This shows how important Enko is in Zhu Changluo's eyes this time.
He almost gave En the greatest face this time!
This makes these people even more grateful to the Crown Prince!
Wang Xijue, Chen Sixiao, Dong Qichang and others looked at the six first-class scholars sitting with them, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the young man was terrifying!
However, there is also a person who is similar to them in age.
When everyone saw this PhD student who was about the same age as them, they became curious.
However, who here has not experienced the ups and downs or the big scenes?
No matter how curious they are, they will not ask questions on their own initiative. Everything depends on the attitude of the crown prince.
After Zhu Changluo finished speaking, he sat in his position. Zhu Changluo looked at the six new bachelors in Enke in front of him.
Zhu Changluo naturally focused on the oldest Cheng Dawei.
Zhu Changluo looked at Cheng Dawei and asked, "Cheng Shujishi is still strong. He went to the Cohen Department at the age of 66 and won the third place in the first place, which really made me admire him."
"I am young, but I also admire learning, especially Cheng Jishi's example of learning until I am old, which makes me feel that the sea of learning is endless and knowledge is priceless."
Faced with Zhu Changluo's praise, Cheng Dawei immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Your Highness has been wronged, I am ashamed of you. I am only old but not good at it. I am only able to study the logarithmics deeply. It happened that your highness was a scholar to be selected for the exam. I was able to be famous in the capital. All of this is given by Your Highness, and I am grateful to you."
Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Cheng Jishi is too humble. As far as Gu knows, Cheng Jishi not only has profound mathematics, but also has written books and biography. Gu also found Cheng Jishi's masterpiece to read. Cheng Jishi's book will definitely be passed down to future generations and passed down through the ages. But Gu's Enke happened to pick up several pearls like Cheng Jishi. Speaking of which, this is also Gu's luck."
Cheng Dawei was extremely moved. He really didn't expect that the crown prince had read his book.
Cheng Dawei couldn't help but say again: "I was born in the prosperous Ming Dynasty and I was happy to meet the Holy Prince in the court. This is a blessing for me to cultivate for hundreds of years. If my numerology can contribute one or two to the Ming Dynasty, I will have no regrets in this life!"
Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "The Ming Dynasty is about to revive, and all industries are revitalized. There is always a chance to show off one's skills and serve the Ming Dynasty. Before coming, Gu heard the people below saying that the measurement craft was invented by Cheng Jishi. Gu was even more happy when he heard this news!"
"This tape measure seems simple, but it is extremely practical. Cheng Jishi was able to invent and apply what he learned and measure the shaking cart, which is in line with the sages' words that the study of things leads to knowledge and unity of knowledge and action. This great way is simple! Let me tell you, how was this tape measure invented?"
Zhu Changluo's praise made Cheng Dawei and the rest of the scientists very envious.
The crown prince actually praised their invention as a secret in line with the saints' way of seeking knowledge and unity of knowledge and action.
This praise is extremely high!
Cheng Dawei was grateful for his gratitude and then talked about the invention of the tape measure.
Cheng Dawei said: "The invention of measuring the pace car was accidental. In the sixth year of Wanli, the chief assistant of the dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, passed the order of the emperor to measure the land in the world. At that time, I was still studying mathematics in my hometown, but I didn't expect to be captured by this huge field measurement mission." …
"I am walking in the fields every day, pulling long ropes with the people all day long to measure the land. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has a huge error. However, the task is urgent, and the fields must be measured within the specified time."
"So, I thought hard, and finally had a flash of inspiration and finally invented the measuring stepper. The principle of this car is very simple. It is to make a scroll, then roll a long rope marked with a scale, and then pull the cart straight along the edge of the field. The long rope with a scale naturally drags it out, and then gets the detailed field value."
After hearing this, Zhu Changluo held his hands and said, "This method is very wonderful! The lonely Xishan Imperial Village invented a small tape measure because of your measuring stepper. Although this is just a small invention, it has driven the development of all industries in Xishan Imperial Village. Its contribution is of great significance!"
Cheng Dawei was also extremely excited when he heard the crown prince praise him like this.
Originally, the invention of the measurement stroller was just an emergency work, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of the crown prince, this thing had such a great effect.
No wonder the Crown Prince attached so much importance to mathematics. Obviously, mathematics brought great benefits to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After chatting with Cheng Dawei, Zhu Changluo chatted with the remaining five new bachelors of Enke and asked about their situation.
Finally, at the conclusion, Zhu Changluo praised them for being smart and studious, and would definitely become pillars of the court in the future.
