The minister turned into Zuo Cheng, the phoenix turned into a hen, Mr. Xu Jin felt very tight in his chest.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, after the Hu Weiyong case, Ming Taizu abolished Zhongshu Province. Among all the official positions, only Zhongshu Sheren remained. Now that the official positions of Zhongshu Province are taken out, for a big official like Xu Jin
, without even thinking about it, I knew it was the emperor who was messing around.
Emperor Zhengde's reputation for being noisy has been on the rise in the past two years.
In the past, it was all about setting off firecrackers and killing people, but now it's better. He started to immigrate to Yizhou and earn money through auctions. The Ming Dynasty was so tormented by him. There was no ups and downs, and the ancestors were already manifesting themselves.
Xu Jin is already seventy years old. In his seventies, he is much less concerned about gains and losses. Since the emperor has a destiny, then the hen will be the hen. As the saying goes, the older you get, the less courage you have.
For Xu Zuocheng, who was about to be buried in a coffin, reputation was more important than his life and official position. Besides, if he entered the martial arts academy, he might be able to stop the emperor from continuing his mischief and leave his name in history.
"I wonder if the emperor wants to train soldiers or train warriors?" Xu Jin sat on the brocade stool and asked slowly.
Looking at this old man with a wrinkled face and a few missing teeth, and then looking at his rickety body, sparse goatee, and bloodshot eyes, Zhu Shou felt a little nervous: Is this the legendary Ming Dynasty general? That's it.
The commander who swept across Turpan?
His initial starting point for setting up a martial arts academy was to replicate the reality show in Legend of Blood.
But in the Ming Dynasty, there were no mages, and Taoist priests could not add blood, let alone bring dogs. What should we do?
So the Whampoa Military Academy jumped into his mind: Yes, I train countless fierce generals, and then take them to conquer the east and west, guaranteed to be 10,000 times more powerful than Chang Kaishen. This is also a different kind of legendary game.
Legend, isn’t it just about the heartbeat?
I have to say that the otaku's thinking is very strange. He used the Age of Discovery to develop the Ming Dynasty's navy, and used the Legend of Hot Blood to develop the Ming Dynasty's army. No one can comment on whether this kind of unprecedented thing is good or bad. We can only wait and see.
"What is military training? What is military training?" In front of the elders, classmate Zhu Shou has always been a good student, because he really doesn't understand.
Usually in front of the emperor, ministers do not have seats. They either stand or sit. If you want to lie down or kneel, no one will stop you.
Xu Jin was able to sit on the brocade stool because of Zhu Shou's special permission. He only heard him slowly say: "The person who trains soldiers is to train courage. Take a son of a good family and train every three days and every five days. Within three years, you can train."
To become an elite soldier. To train a soldier is to practice Qi. He takes the best talents among elite soldiers and spreads them with awe-inspiring righteousness, letting them know the principles of heaven and earth and the ways of kings and ministers. Within ten years, they can become good soldiers."
Xu Jin's words are very pertinent. The so-called soldiers are ordinary soldiers. Ancient times were different from modern times. The soldiers at that time were not well fed and could not train every day.
You said there are people who eat meat every day and train for seven or eight hours every day? Is that because the protagonist’s army is good? In an alien plane, anything can happen.
If the Ming army could do drills every three days and practice every five days, it would already be one of the most powerful soldiers in the world. If the generals in charge of the army work harder and train a Wang Family Army or a Li Family Army, it would be possible.
The so-called training officers are to train middle and lower-level officers. Haoran Zhengqi, this is the superficial name, but in fact it is to train officers to understand the superiority and inferiority, so that civilian officials can lead these muscular men.
The officers who rolled out of the dead were fearless. It would take about ten years to make them into obedient and good-natured grandsons.
For example, Lin Chong from the previous dynasty was a typical example of being tamed before the Snow Mountain Temple. Of course, Ruda was another extreme example, one who could not be tamed no matter how hard he was tamed.
Let officers like Sun Tzu take charge of the big soldiers fighting on the front line, so that the civilian officials can sit in the big tent, kill Mao Wenlong in the east, kick the little prince in the west, and even if the whole army is annihilated, they can still escape back to the capital.
.….
"What if I want to train a general?" Zhu Shou's mind was filled with teacher Shan Tianfang's storytelling, and he wished that seventeen or eight marshals and generals would stand in front of him immediately.
"Grand Marshal? The Taizu Dynasty did have the Marshal's Office, which has been abolished long ago. However, the Marshal is only a third-rank official, and under the governor, how can he hold the position of Grand Marshal?" Xu Jin, who was familiar with the official system of the Ming Dynasty, broke the emperor's mind.
I honestly poured a basin of cold water on my wonderful thoughts.
"I mean the commander-in-chief of an army." Zhu Shou came back to his senses from the storytelling and explained sheepishly.
Xu Jin naturally did not dare to say that the emperor was wrong, so he had to go downstairs and said with a smile: "Commanders of an army, such as governors, governors, and veterans, are all civil servants. They cannot be trained through practice. Those who know military affairs are the best."
That’s it.”
After a pause, he wanted to save the emperor's face, and continued: "As for the chief military officer, deputy chief soldier, staff general, guerrilla general, garrison, and the general commander actually command the military officers, there is no rank or quota. The general town
Those who guard one side are called garrison, those who guard one road alone are called divided garrison, those who each guard one city and one fort are called garrison, and those who guard the same city with the general are called co-garrison. There are also admirals, transfers, patrols, guards, foremans, etc., all of which are
Those who cannot be trained can only be selected and appointed from hereditary nobles with military exploits."
His subtext is very clear: Your Majesty, stop fussing. The officers of the Ming Dynasty are all carrots and pitfalls. If you want to deploy senior officers on a large scale, that is just a daydream. The world will be in chaos, so you should train some soldiers.
, just for your fun.
It's a pity that only Liu Jin and Eunuch Gao Feng understood what he meant. There were also people who understood among the eunuchs who were watching, but they definitely did not include Emperor Zhu Shou, so it was considered a pearl casting a shadow on someone.
The emperor could only be heard saying: "I set up this martial arts academy and invested five hundred thousand taels of silver in it. I want to form a new army, called the Royal New Army, and it will be maintained by my inner treasury."
Xu Jin was stunned for a moment: Do you think His Majesty the Emperor wants to abandon the Ming Dynasty's military system and play alone?
"The important affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs," Mr. Xu also wanted to persuade the emperor and said, "The military system must not be disturbed. Once the official position is opened, there will be chaos again."
This dead boss! Zhu Shou was a little angry and glanced at Liu Jin.
Old Liu naturally understood and said: "Xu Zuocheng, the military system of the Royal New Army is different from other personal guards. The Holy Spirit has created a new twelve-level military system. It is unprecedented and unprecedented. How can there be chaos?"
explain?"
Twelve-grade military system? I have heard of the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system. Xu Jin sighed in his heart, forget it, if the emperor wants to fool around, let him fool around. Anyway, with just such a few people, it won't make any big waves, so he responded.
: "The old minister is ignorant and cannot understand the emperor's good strategy. He talks nonsense and is a capital crime. It is a capital crime!"
When Zhu Shou saw that the stubborn old man had surrendered, he felt happy and said with a smile: "What are you guilty of? I looked at the ancient books and found that there are generals, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, etc., so I created a new military system accordingly."
, three grades per level, from general to corporal, a total of twelve grades, implemented in the new army."
By the way, otakus are really a very uneducated breed. If they take the military system from the hot weapon era and mess around with it in the cold weapon era, they can be regarded as inheriting a large part of the YY stream.
"How come there are so many officers?" The stubborn old man Xu poured another bucket of cold water on him.
Yes, twelfth grade, how many people are needed to fill these positions? Just those 1,500 people? Even if there are ten times more, it will not be enough. Could it be that one general only controls one lieutenant general, so that
By analogy, from general to corporal, only twelve people are needed.
But no matter how reckless the emperor is, he can't go so far. Then there is only another possibility: the emperor wants to expand the new army to at least 100,000 people!
Old man Xu has been in officialdom for a long time and is proficient in battle formations. He can guess what Xiao Jiujiu is in Zhu Shou's heart even with his eyes closed...
This is absolutely not possible! Xu Jin knew in his heart that as soon as the new army expanded, the military system would collapse and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty would be shaken.
Although the military and health system has many shortcomings, it can still be maintained and there is no need to risk the world's shock.
"Sir Xu's words are very true." Boss Liu could not let the emperor destroy the country. He understood what Xu Jin meant. Although he was a political enemy, Boss Liu was still very politically educated, and it was related to the affairs of the country and the country.
, then it is not a trivial matter, and personal grudges can be put aside for the time being, "But the Holy Spirit's original intention is just to try it out, not to use this system to promote the world."
Boss Liu's subtext is also very clear: Old man Xu, don't gibber here, just wait until the emperor's freshness wears off, and then we can destroy these systems. If you keep talking about it, be careful to get everyone involved.
What a disgrace to the country!
Xu Jin glared at Boss Liu angrily, not accepting the favor of the other party at all, but said: "In that case, I will do my best to support the emperor's business."
"How do Xu Qing's family want to train their troops?" Zhu Shou glanced at Mr. Liu appreciatively and asked happily.
The poor otaku emperor didn't realize at all that Boss Liu and Xu were fighting with each other.
"Leave the matter of military training to General Cao," Old Man Xu kicked out General Cao, who was hiding nearby to avoid trouble. "Old minister, I only need to recruit and teach talents, strategies, bows and horses, equipment, gunpowder, and chariot formations.
Astronomy, geography, and the like are all needed for military training. Please ask the emperor to give some names to the veterans so that they can do things easily."
This is the arrival of an upright and important official. Old man Xu has no desire to lead the troops himself. At seventy years old, he is unable to take care of his sister, let alone lead the troops like a son.
Zhu Shou was also generous and promulgated the imperial edicts he had prepared long ago.
In the idea of the otaku emperor, the martial arts academy should be a place like the Whampoa Military Academy, with a bald principal and a handsome director, and train young shots to conquer the world.
However, Boss Liu told him: Your Majesty, you cannot randomly determine official positions, otherwise you will not be able to balance the civil and military officials up and down. Isn’t there an abolished Zhongshu Province? Then all the officials in it will be selected, which will not only preserve the face of the ancestors, but also serve the people.
The lining.
Zhu Shou was still willing to give advice on things he didn't understand.
So the basic team of the martial arts academy was decided: Dean Zhu Houzhao, also the emperor's classmate Yaoling, had to shout "Long Live the Emperor" a hundred times every time the school started to practice, and recite "Emperor's Quotations" before eating, and so on. , not listed one by one.
The prince Shaobao and Xu Jin, Zuo Cheng of the Wushu Academy, were responsible for all the affairs of the Wushu academy. This made Boss Liu feel very happy: he finally squeezed the old man out of the official department. Now he can give the official official secretary to Zhang Cai. He I have been waiting for a very long time.
Zhang Cai, an alternative high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, is about to appear on the stage of history in advance, but this is a story for another time, so I won’t mention it for now.
Cao Xiong, the governor of the martial arts academy and Zuocheng of the martial arts academy, is responsible for the daily training affairs of the martial arts academy. Gao Feng, the admiral and eunuch of the martial arts academy, is responsible for supervising the five hundred thousand taels of silver and the two adults Xu and Cao.
These were the three famous giants of the martial arts academy in the future. They were famous for their strange bedfellows and intrigues.
Below them, there are also some counselors of the third rank, some who have joined the army from the third rank, and are responsible for the daily affairs of each subject. Several doctors of the fifth rank, and principals of the sixth rank. They are the actual lecturers of each subject.
Standing on such a high configuration, Daming Martial Arts Academy has begun its new chapter.
