The emperor suddenly became a soldier-savvy emperor, and the atmosphere among the military academy students suddenly became lively. This is a place where you can really learn something. When they came here, they didn't take it seriously at first. They thought they were just here to get some gold.
Then I was assigned to a military camp, but after arriving here I really had to study.
The learning tasks were quite heavy. They had to practice a ten-mile long-distance run in the morning, followed by complex and repetitive queue training. After a few days, they also added housekeeping training and battle formation training. They felt like they were outright top soldiers here.
This is definitely different from their expectations, but one thing is beyond their expectations. The emperor comes almost every day and really lectures them. These people are all people with a foundation in ancient military theory. When they first listened
, didn’t think there was anything important about what the emperor said, but after listening to it for a few days, they had a new understanding, especially some of the literati among them, who had been exposed to some military strategy ideas. The more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong. His Majesty said
Isn't this all about the art of generalship? There is also the art of generalship in it. For example, whether to fight or not is not a question that should be considered by the person leading the army.
"Next let's talk about the last point of "Three No Fights": Don't fight unless you can join forces with friendly forces. When leading troops to fight, the most taboo thing is to fight alone, especially when you lead less than 10,000 people, you must consider the position of friendly forces. You must consider
Clearly, after the war is launched, whether we can form an effective connection with the friendly forces and thus form a joint force. This issue must be looked at from several aspects. First, we have to figure out who the friendly forces are. Don’t think that you are the friendly forces when facing the same enemy. The real
Friendly forces can cooperate with each other and effectively support each other." At this point, Chongzhen paused intentionally and asked the students to think carefully about what true friendly forces are. This thing cannot be explained too clearly, but it must be said.
"Secondly, we have to look at what I need friendly forces to do? Is it to work with me to break through the enemy's defense line? Or to expand the results of the battle together? Or maybe I need to leverage each other's strength with friendly forces to defend together. The main functions of friendly forces on the battlefield are as follows
Here are some points: offensive assistance, defensive support, a helping hand when I am weak, and a good helper when expanding the results! Can I cooperate with friendly forces, how to cooperate, and can friendly forces provide me with the help I want? These are the things I need to know before fighting.
Issues that must be considered must be considered. Don’t move troops lightly if you don’t think clearly. The great battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Hou Jin Dynasty in Saerhu when the Ming Dynasty was in Shenzong was that each army underestimated the advance of the friendly forces, and then fell into a situation where the Hou Jin Dynasty defeated them one by one.
There are problems with the generals themselves, as well as problems with the commanders and even the court. The problem with the court and the commanders is that they are too far apart and cannot grasp the specific military situation on the front line, but they command arrogantly and are eager to go to war. The problem with the generals is that,
The execution is not strong enough, and the speed of the advance of the friendly forces is not accurately judged. The various departments are called friendly forces but are actually a drag on each other. They do not communicate with each other, and do not take into account the situation of the comrades in Paoze. They only care about themselves. The problems are not limited to Saarhu and Saerhu.
A war? Several major defeats after that are all inseparable from the difficulty in getting along with friendly forces! When you go back, think about what I said today, and I will ask you about the results of your consideration in a few days."
Having said so much at once, it is estimated that these young people will need some time to digest it! Relying on school lectures can only give them a broad concept first, and then slowly combine these concepts on the real battlefield.
Slow integration.
University is not a place to teach you how to do specific work. No matter how good a university graduate is, when he first starts doing a specific job, he is still unfamiliar and lacks basic skills. But this does not mean that the knowledge taught in university is useless. The core of university education is
Let students have enough qualified judgment about their majors and have professional thinking to consider problems in practical work. This is like students in the Chinese department who rarely produce writers, but after four years of training they can at least know how to write articles.
Classification and basic aesthetic logic are correct.
After giving lessons to the students in the General School Hall, Chongzhen turned around and went to the thatched cottage next door where the Imperial College students had classes. These people were serious scholars, and Zhu Youjian did not arrange a special teaching plan for himself. He mainly let the people from the Imperial College organize it.
Let’s take a look at the teaching content. The main courses are: Summary of the Laws of the Ming Dynasty, Summary of the Geography and Human Relations of the Ming Dynasty, Summary of Arithmetic, and Summary of National History. They are divided into two subjects at the same time. The Ministry of Industry recruits mainly engineering subjects, and the Ministry of Rites recruits science subjects.
The difference in teaching content is that on the basis of the previous four subjects, the engineering course adds an essential part of engineering, and the science course adds an essential part of Western learning.
In this era, some advanced people in the Ming Dynasty still noticed the progress of the West in natural sciences. Western learning was widely spread among some upper-class scholar-bureaucrats. It was not difficult to find some basic courses, and teachers could be found in the Imperial College.
In the thatched cottage, a teacher from the Imperial College was giving a lecture. The less than 100 students below were all groggy and listless. The mental state of these students was completely incomparable to that of military school students. Just kidding, at this time, some of them are thinking of joining the army.
But they are all young people with great ambitions. They are not like the people in the Imperial College, who are just trying to gain academic qualifications.
Just mix academic qualifications. The key is that these academic qualifications are becoming less and less valuable. Being a prisoner student is not as promising as being a imperial examination student. The current situation is even more so. The country is in such chaos, and the emperor is selling academic qualifications.
, each sold for one or two thousand school places. If they hadn't been able to study at Long Live Mountain and see the emperor at any time, they wouldn't have spent this wasted money.
As a result, when we arrived at Meishan, we could see the emperor often, but now the emperor and the court were at loggerheads. It was unclear whether he would have a say in the court's official positions in the future. It felt like he had been defrauded of money, so
Their motivation to study is even lower.
Chongzhen was furious when he saw this group of students who had the same temperament as the San Bensheng in later generations. Even if you paid money to get in, you still have a serious academic qualification from the highest university in Ming Dynasty! You really don't know how to cherish it. If you are here
If future generations can spend such a small amount of money to get a degree from Tsinghua University and Peking University, there will definitely be a group of people rushing to get there.
Entering the thatched cottage, he interrupted the Professor of the Imperial College who was in class. Chongzhen was going to personally give some lectures to these gangsters who were waiting to die.
"Dear classmates, I have been observing your study status outside the thatched cottage from time to time in the past few days. I will give you an evaluation - you are just eating and waiting to die. What's the matter? I really feel that I have no future and I am just messing around here.
?If you have this idea, go through the discharge procedures tomorrow and go home with your donations. Long Live Mountain is not here for you to mess around. I don’t have time to mess around with you here. Today I put my words on
Here, if you want to learn, then study hard. I will ask the professors of the Imperial College to hold an exam once a month according to the teaching content. Those who fail the exam three times in a row will be dismissed. Whether you study well or not is none of your own business. I will
In a word, as long as students pass the examination, I will give them a future that is no less than that of those who came from the imperial examination. Taizu can measure the world and rule a peaceful and prosperous age with imperial examination students, and I can do the same. The key is to see if you can live up to your expectations.
!”
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used a group of supervisors from the Imperial College to form a working group to complete the measurement of the world's fields. For a long time, the fish scale book formed by this land census was the basis for the Ming court to collect taxes.
, and those batch of imperial examination students became the cornerstone of the governance of Taizu's dynasty! Facing the imperial examination students who were confused about their future, Chongzhen had no choice but to bring out Taizu's old stories to remind them that the imperial examination may not be the only correct way, it mainly depends on how the emperor employs people!
