Chapter 144: The Great Reading of Martial Arts

Kim Young is a ready-made example.

At the beginning, Jin Ying offended Wang Zhen fiercely, but now with the increase of Zhu Qizhen's power, Wang Zhen's power in the palace is also increasing

Wang Zhen naturally didn't dare to do anything to the Empress Dowager.

But there is a way to rectify Jin Ying.

Not to mention anything else, in the friction between Jin Ying's Dongchang and Ma Shun's Jinyiwei, they have always been at a disadvantage, and even made several mistakes. If it weren't for Wang Zhen's estimation that the Empress Dowager was there.

Jin Ying's position as the commander of Dongchang is now unstable.

When the Empress Dowager was there, it was still like this.

Once the Empress Dowager is gone, Jin Ying's fate can be imagined. Maybe this is not Zhu Qizhen's intention, but Zhu Qizhen may not be able to control it.

After all, Wang Zhenyi was a eunuch at the beginning, and he always had to reward Zhu Qizhen for such a long time, so if he rewarded him, where did the position come from?

The Empress Dowager's attitude towards Liu Yongcheng is different from Jin Ying's, which shows that the Empress Dowager takes a fancy to Liu Yongcheng.

But even if the Empress Dowager took such a fancy to Liu Yongcheng, Liu Yongcheng was even more loyal to Taizong, and Xuanzong was deeply trusted by the two generations of kings. Zhu Qizhen still didn't want Liu Yongcheng to continue to be in the Imperial Horse Prison.

Therefore, Liu Yongcheng was placed in martial arts.

Although Zhang Fu is in charge of martial arts.

But Zhang Fu is the prince of the country after all, although he is not in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but when Zhu Qizhen encounters a major event, he has to consult Zhang Fu, not to mention that Zhang Fu can be too busy to ask for a son.

Zhu Qizhen also arranged for Liu Yongcheng to sacrifice wine for Wuxue and was in charge of daily affairs.

Liu Yongcheng bowed up, stood up like a slave, and said: "Your Majesty, the body of ten thousand gold, don't throw it lightly, there are too few people with you on this trip, please allow the old slave to be close to the guard, although the old slave is old, but three or five people are still close, no worse than Li Dachuan who killed Adai Khan." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "How can I not believe Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu is in front of me." ”

When Liu Yongcheng saw the needle, he stood half a step beside Zhu Qizhen, following him like a shadow, as if he was a shadow, it seemed that he was used to this position. When I followed Emperor Taizong, I probably stood like this.

Even Zhang Fu, Meng Ying, Zhu Yong, Li Xian, these four people are behind Liu Yongcheng.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Father-in-law Liu. ”

Liu Yongcheng said: "The old slave is here. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's beat the drums, I want to see how the martial arts are performing?" ”

Liu Yongcheng said: "Yes." ”

Immediately, Liu Yongcheng invited Zhu Qizhen to the stage, and then the big drum of the height of the man sounded.

In a matter of moments, thousands of soldiers galloped in from all directions. The entire school yard was filled. Immediately, under Liu Yongcheng's order, he began to practice.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen couldn't understand it.

These students, for a while, spears are like a forest, and for a while the iron horses are whistling, and they also perform three-stage shooting of fire guns, and various formation drills, it seems that because the school area is limited, otherwise they can really come to a sparring practice.

Zhu Qizhen felt very neat when he saw it, but that's all.

It's like watching a military parade, a layman looks at a neat one, and only an insider interprets how weapons and equipment are.

Even though Zhu Qizhen has read a lot of military books, he is still a layman.

However, as the emperor, he may not need to be in the battle formation, he just needs to know who can fight, Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong, Meng Ying, and Li Xian in front of him. Although they are all the second generation of Jingnan heroes, all of them have been in the battle array, especially Meng Ying, who has just beautifully leveled Luchuan.

Zhu Qizhen just looks at their performance.

Zhu Qizhen looked at their expressions and knew that the abilities of these students were good.

Zhu Qizhen asked Zhang Fu and said, "British duke, what do you think of them?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "The minister thinks that even among the Beijing army, there are only 3,000 battalions, Shenji battalions, and five military battalions, which can be compared. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened to it and was secretly happy in his heart.

Without him, the three battalions mentioned by Zhang Fu are the absolute main force of the Ming Jing Army, known as the three major battalions.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen also knew that Zhang Fu's words were to be discounted, after all, anyone would say flattery, but with Zhu Qizhen's understanding of Zhang Fu. If it weren't for the fact that these students had eight points of skill, Zhang Fu wouldn't dare to shoot the sycophants into ten points.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Come here, reward the Beijing camp students with ten silver dollars, and the British Duke and Liu Gonggong will each reward 1,000 silver coins for their meritorious military training." ”

Under Zhu Qizhen's pickiness, Zhou Chen has already created the first batch of silver coins.

It is different from the Yuan Datou in Zhu Qizhen's heart, it is still a large copper coin, but there is no square hole on it, on one side is the Ming Dynasty heavy treasure, and on the other side is the orthodox imperial work.

It's just that it hasn't been released from the market yet.

However, the palace often rewards gold and silver coins, and now rewarding students with silver coins is nothing. This can also be regarded as a small test of Zhu Qizhen's circulation of silver coins.

In the future, the general's salary, Yulu, and various expenses of the Ming Dynasty will be exchanged for silver coins.

Zhu Qizhen said to Liu Yongcheng: "It's just right, everyone is here today, let them compete and decide the top three, and I will be rewarded." ”

Zhang Fu is the most sensitive to politics, and the three words of the top three made him immediately think of a lot, and he was stunned for a while, but Liu Yongcheng, the old eunuch, didn't think too much, and now he said: "Your Majesty, and there are a lot of students today, if you compete in pairs, I don't know when it will be, the old slave thinks that the original choice is." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Oh, how to choose? ”

Liu Yongcheng said: "Your Majesty, all the students below are governed by military law, and some of them are ruled by law

It takes a long time to enroll, even if Your Majesty doesn't come today, after a while, the old slaves will start Your Majesty and order them to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to take up their posts. ”

"If you are not qualified to take the job, don't let them participate in this competition."

"Even so, for a while and a half, it won't be over, it's better for Your Majesty to try the art of war, let them answer on the spot, select the top 100, and then compete in pairs, it won't take much time."

Zhu Qizhen listened and nodded. He also knows that martial arts is not without cultural classes, and even this is one of the key points, because the matter of attacking the post is involving the military department, so when he takes the post, he also has to write articles and require him to be proficient in the art of war.

However, because the examiners of the Ministry of War were not proficient in the art of war, later generations once asked these people to write an eight-strand essay first. Although the requirements are not high, it is also necessary to be proficient in the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Of course, Daming has not yet reached this point. But you should have the ability to write, and you still have to have it.

Zhu Qizhen also felt that this was a compulsory test, he didn't think that it was right to be a real Ming general and illiterate, such as Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu is certainly a famous general, but Zhang Fu's article is also good, if it weren't for Zhang Fu's family history, Zhang Zhong would not have been able to write a feudal policy that made the Manchu Dynasty have nothing to say.

What is the political ideology in it, let's not talk about it, just because the writing is not good, there is no possibility of even going to the court to discuss it.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that with his casual words today, he actually decided on the examination process of the Ming Military Holy Land, the highest honor of the Ming Dynasty martial arts.

Although there were many changes in later generations, the general principle of the first literary test and then the military test remained unchanged.

Among all of them, perhaps only Zhang Fu has feelings.

He had a hunch that the situation of the world's famous generals being honored may become the world's famous generals in martial arts. And the top three that appeared this time are even more crucial.

Zhang Fu hated the emptiness under his knees for a while, otherwise he would have tried everything to bring one of the top three into the British mansion.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know that Zhang Fu actually speculated about his thoughts.

He pondered in his heart for a moment, set the exam question, which was very large, and asked: "Emperor Taizong has conquered the north five times, and now the tile is rising again, how to clean the desert and once and for all." ”

In fact, this question is not so much that Zhu Qizhen is asking the people below, but that he is showing his beliefs.

It's hilarious to expect the people below to answer this big question. Zhu Qizhen couldn't figure it out himself. But he wants to let many people know that he, Zhu Qizhen, used force against the grassland.

After all, he is no longer the young master he was a few years ago. While the threat of the tile spur was getting bigger and bigger, Zhu Qizhen felt that he should let the Manchu civil and military have a psychological preparation.

For a while, the school field was full of square tables, one student and one table, all of them frowning, scratching their ears and cheeks, obviously stumped by the topic of Zhu Qizhen.
