Wang Ao had already stood up to say goodbye.

Yang Tinghe was left deep in thought. He had just arrived in the capital and was about to talk about the administration of officials. What does this mean?

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but sigh in pain, and his faint eyes looked even more complicated.

Compared with him, Xu Qian's life was much better. The Royal School finally opened in early October. Two hundred and thirty Royal School Captains entered the school one after another. Xu Chang, dressed in fish clothes, was giving lectures with Xu Qian.

The martial arts hall has arranged the opening ceremony. There is no news from the palace, and I don't know if His Majesty will come. For now, we can only go as planned.

Immediately afterwards, Xuchang personally summoned all teachers, doctors, and officers for a meeting in the martial arts hall.

As the principal of the school, Xu Chang is naturally ranked first. The one sitting on the left is Xu Qian, and the one sitting on the right is Zhou Tai. This Mr. Zhou is not young. He just retired from Liaodong. Although he is older than

He was seventy, but his reputation in the border town was not low. Because he was a veteran, he used his spare energy and was hired as the chief instructor of the school. All military training was arranged by him.

The seats here basically determine the level of power in the school in the future. The highest one is naturally Xu Chang. He is always responsible for everything. He is the person in charge and the commander-in-chief. Xu Qian is on the left.

That is, he ranked second as the imperial scholar and the chief instructor of Jingyi. General Zhou, as the chief instructor of military preparations, had to settle for third place.

No one had any objections to this arrangement. Even General Zhou could not find any fault. He was placed below Xu Qian. This was not because he was not as qualified as Xu Qian, but because the Ming Dynasty had long valued literature.

There is an old tradition of suppressing military force. In the border towns, it is natural for civil servants to control military attachés. No matter how awesome the generals are, no matter how high they are, they do not have the right to mobilize troops and horses. Everything has to be decided by the governor and military officials.

.

For a long time, military people have become accustomed to this unwritten custom. General Zhou is a veteran in the army, so he has nothing to complain about. In the border town, there are many such things, and the governor appointed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate can mobilize all

Officers and soldiers, if anyone dares to disobey, regardless of whether you have great military exploits or a high-ranking position, should you get out of here?

Xu Qian was giving lectures in the school as a Hanlin. However, the school did not stipulate that Xu Qian could control Zhou Tai, but the reality was that there was nothing to worry about.

As for other teachings, they are divided into civil and martial classes, but they are allowed to sit as they please. The martial arts training is all controlled by Zhou Tai. But what is interesting is that although Zhou Tai is in control of the training matters, the subjects that can be practiced must be determined by the cultural teachers.

Apart from giving some opinions, Wu Jiaoxi has no decision-making power.

After all, the school is still unable to escape the restrictions of the name. Whatever the situation in the world, it is also the same here. In this regard, Xu Qian did not encourage the old man to carry out drastic reforms. On the one hand, if word spread, it would definitely arouse criticism. So many people in the Royal Academy were watching.

, if people know that the status of warriors in the school is higher than that of literati, I don’t know how

On the other hand, doing this is beneficial to Xu Qian. There is an unspoken rule that those who are not good for themselves will have to curse, but those who are good for themselves will not feel so hateful. This is like those who are not officials often scold those who are officials.

No matter what, when I become an official, I will scold these unscrupulous people for not knowing my master's difficulties.

The most important thing is that doing this gives Xu Qian a lot of room for development. For example, the formulation of training subjects is almost handled by Xu Qian. This man is a ruthless person. The definition of a ruthless person is: very gentle to himself.

He has the most stringent requirements for others. The subjects he sets

Not to mention the royal captain who entered the school, even the instructors couldn't help but be speechless. But Xu Qian thought it was nothing. Anyway, he didn't need to teach or practice. He just had to write and write.

, the academic rules of the school were also formulated by him, and they were also strict requirements.

Xu Chang glanced with satisfaction at the dozens of teachers in the martial arts hall and the guards standing aside, then read out the school rules, explained the content of daily drills, and then said: "Since you are here, you can't say ugly things."

Let’s talk about the front part first. I ordered the construction of a school for no purpose.

If there is no one, it is to select talents for the emperor. The divine grace is so great. If you cannot do your best, you are disloyal. From today on, you must strictly manage the army. If you are slacking off as a captain, you will be severely punished according to the school rules.

, if there is a lesson of neglect of duty, naturally there will be no mercy.

Everyone who comes to the school, if you can work together to make this school famous, you will definitely have a favor in the future. Our future depends on the school. I will encourage each other and hope that everyone will work together!"

Everyone said together: "As commanded."

Xu Chang was gaining more and more authority now, and then he nodded and said: "School will officially start soon. If you have any other opinions you would like to raise, please take this opportunity to raise them as soon as possible to avoid any criticism in the future."

Zhou Tai was silent for a while and said: "My lord, I have some opinions, please consider it. After reading the planned training arrangements, I always feel that it is too late to wait. It is good to be strict in running the army, but every day early in the morning, the time is not enough."

Get up and keep practicing

After six hours, the captains were asked to study immediately. I was afraid that the captains would be overwhelmed. Also... six hours of drills, including riding, archery, and martial arts courses. Why should we spend an hour practicing military etiquette?

What is there to learn from this military salute?"

The question raised by Zhou Tai was immediately recognized by many martial arts instructors. They all have rich experience in leading troops. They have adhered to the rules for decades, but they actually know the inside story. For example, the training of sergeants in Bian Town is quite strict.

, but it’s just one exercise on January and one on the third day. The senior military attache of the big exercise is here. Everyone

They set up the dragon formation, the tiger wing formation, and then beat the gongs and drums. After three or four hours of tossing, it was all over. As for Xiao Cao, it was even more miserable. Although the court had rules, it still depended on the military attache whether he should do it or not.

When our mood comes, we beat drums to recruit people, and then everyone tosses around for a long time. When the sun gets strong, we quickly go to hide.

Judging from this strawberry standard, Xu Qian's standard is simply unacceptable. Comparing one's feelings with others, it is not easy for everyone to make a living. Why should men bother men? If you torment others, in fact, you will be the one to torment in the end. There are indeed some problems in Bianzhen.

in office

New officials like to cause trouble, but after a few days of tossing, it ends in vain, because you have to be there yourself after all, even if you sit under the scorching sun for a few hours, you can't bear it, so many so-called

The rules are all in name only.

What everyone criticizes is the training time, which is six hours a day. No one can stand it. From early in the morning to training until evening, and at night, they have to listen to the lectures and readings by the cultural teachers. No one can stand it.

Furthermore, among these six hours, there is one hour to practice military salutes. The so-called royal salutes are also clearly written. They are nothing more than standing in line, posture, and sitting posture. These things must be practiced. What benefit will it bring to the captains?

Zhou Tai's doubts are not unreasonable. There are too many showpieces here and they don't make much sense.

In fact, Zhou Tai didn't understand, and Xu Chang didn't understand either. At this time, he didn't know how to answer. He could only say: "Xu Shidu takes care of all the details of the training. Let Xu Shidu do the talking."

Xu Qian could only say: "Actually, it's very simple. The captains in the school are all strong-blooded. The longer they practice, the better it is for them. Only by enduring hardship can they become a master. Since they are royal captains, if they can do this

If you can't bear the hardships, what's the point? School teaching is to cultivate not ordinary warriors, but tigers and wolves. Since you are tigers and wolves, you have to endure what others can't tolerate. Let them practice every day, which is better than letting them do nothing.

As for this military ceremony, it is the will of the immortals that is sharpened. The more boring and repetitive actions are the most sharpening of the mind. This is the purpose of making the royal captain know how to obey. General Zhou, you are an old soldier.

, I dare to ask over there in Liaodong, if our Ming army is ten times larger than the Mongols, and both sides form a formation, and the other side sends their horses to charge, why do the officers and soldiers often collapse at the first touch? "

Zhou Tai hesitated for a moment and said: "This... the opponent is an iron man and is unstoppable."

Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "This is not necessarily the case. Although the opponent is a cavalry, the army is ten times stronger than him. The impact of the cavalry is only once. If the army can stand firm and withstand the impact, it can still be organized.

Even if they fight to the death, even if they are cavalry, they may not be able to turn defeat into victory. In the final analysis, this is because the officers and soldiers are not strong-willed. When they see the cavalry coming in overwhelming numbers, they immediately become paralyzed.

Jing was panicking, and when he saw the officers and soldiers in the front line being rushed away by the horses, they immediately lost their fighting spirit. The military attaches were at a loss, and the soldiers even more didn't know what to do. As a result, when the opponent charged, it might only be a small gap, but often it would be a small gap.

It will cause the whole line to collapse. In fact, in terms of combat strength, our number is ten times that of his, and our combat strength is more than twice his. But we have lost fighting spirit and the soldiers do not know how to obey. The result can be imagined."

Xu Qian's words seem to make sense, but Zhou Tai may not be willing to believe that they are useful. However, Xu Shidu has already explained the truth, and you have no reason to object. You simply nodded and said: "Then, let's give it a try first.

Bar."

Just as he was talking, someone stumbled in from outside and said: "Sir... Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

After hearing this, Xuchang felt very excited. He quickly stood up and said excitedly: "Welcome."

But before anyone could move, the guard continued: "He came, but he left again."

After leaving... everyone looked at each other...

When Xu Chang heard the news behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but said: "Why did you come and leave again? What's going on?"
