Chapter 394: The Military Academy is Settled
Since that day, the two had a deep conversation in the governor's yamen, Yang Mingshi no longer had the pressure in his heart, and happily took the family to the direction of the capital.
As for Ortai himself, he locked himself in the study, holding Yang Mingshi's booklet and reading it for several days, and his heart became heavier and heavier, because he finally found out why Yang Mingshi had not reported it for a long time.
It's really because this matter is too big and too dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will be a big mess!
To understand this, it is necessary to understand the strong vitality and tenacious combat effectiveness of the Tusi system, which was not formed overnight, but has a history of more than 1,000 years.
The Tusi system, itself is derived from the Tang and Song dynasties in western Hubei and other places to implement and complete the policy of restraint, the relationship between the prefecture and the imperial court is not close, once the imperial court is weakened, the prefecture will do its own thing, get rid of the control of the imperial court, "the Song family is slight, the division is good at governing its territory, all over the officials,...... Willford is self-indulgent. β
With the development of the restraint policy itself, to the alternation of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the strength of the feudal states rose greatly, and the rebellion was impermanent, so the Yuan court at that time began to set up a wide range of Tusi in order to envelop these places, and replaced the encirclement and suppression with appeasement, and the system continued until the Ming Dynasty, and Enshi alone set up 31 Tusi.
Tusi is essentially a local powerhouse, and after mixing various ethnic groups, it is more complicated, but the Tusi system is more progressive than the past Jian Prefecture, because the Tusi system has stricter control in terms of inheritance, tribute, requisition and other policies, so this system did not have too many problems at that time.
However, now, the Tusi family's power is becoming more and more powerful, especially after the uprising of the Fu Han army, there are faint signs of instability, and even the orders of the imperial court have begun to turn a deaf ear, which is unacceptable to Yang Mingshi and Ortai and other governors, so the matter of changing the land and returning to the river has also been put on the desk.
"Your Majesty, the servants are terrified, and they live in the position of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces...... In the Tusi Rebellion, we should use soldiers as the vanguard to treat its symptoms, treat its roots with fundamental reform, and change the soil into a stream to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle....... The slaves are grateful for the saints, and the emperor is in good health. β
Ortai wrote all his thoughts on the first letter he presented to Yongzheng, and sent it to the capital together with Xie En.
It was only after the guards took his folds and went all the way north that Ortai looked at the booklets and fell into deep thought.
But I don't know if it's right or wrong.......
.........
In the eyes of the people of Nanjing, there have been more new things in the past two years than in the past hundred years, but there are more and more forbidden areas in the corresponding city, especially like the Purple Mountain, which has almost become synonymous with secrecy, where there is a regiment of troops stationed all year round, and ordinary people can't enter at all.
The original lecture hall is located at the foot of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, and now it has been reorganized into the Central Army Military Academy of Dachu, and the overall scale has also been expanded to a certain extent, even no less than the camp of the Praetorian Guard Division next to it.
Zhu Yuyan was wearing a neat and tidy recruit uniform, wearing a cadet rank on his shoulders, and carrying a long flintlock pistol, which looked very heroic and extraordinary, and there were a full 150 people who looked like him, all of whom were newly recruited this time, and the first battalion and three companies were recruited this time.
The Central Army Military Academy of Dachu, as the foundation of the entire Ningchu military, has also enjoyed preferential treatment in all aspects, not only its specifications are very high, but also the military expenses for running the school are very sufficient, and nominally speaking, the principal of the military academy is also the emperor himself, which can be described as a proper protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
According to the military academy plan, the number of enlisted students in the first phase was about 2,000, but there were more than 40,000 applicants in various provinces.
The registration of so many people has also made the elimination rate of military schools extremely cruel, and the cadets who can pass the assessment can be called the real essence.
"The official opening day of the military academy is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, when the time comes, Your Majesty will personally come to the military academy to inspect, and there are still three days to prepare for you, I hope that your performance can convince me and your Majesty!"
A dark-faced officer stood in front of the cadets with his hands in his hands, looking at the proud sons of the heavens present, and he was not half polite, to a certain extent, in the military academy, the instructor is the day of the military academy.
Zhu Yuyan pursed his lips, with a resolute look on his face, and the students beside him did the same, everyone did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because someone had already been kicked out of the military academy by the instructor, which was a real lesson from the past.
"Yes, loyal to Your Majesty!"
The cadets lined up in a neat line, and began to march forward in the sound of drums, everyone moved in unison, looking ahead, although there was no so-called murderous aura, but this momentum was enough to make people feel shocked.
If it is placed outside, it is estimated that anyone will think that this is the real elite, so even among the Fu Han army, there are few such neat and uniform exercises, let alone the Qing army.
As an instructor who has retired from a combat unit, He Yunxian knows very well in his heart that this is actually the result of a month of high-intensity training, and if he is pulled out, he will definitely be able to fight, but his experience is seriously insufficient, and his morale must be a question mark.
Of course, He Yunxian also understands that these enlisted students are not ordinary, and it is not wrong to say that they are the pride of the army in the army, because according to the relevant school system, these enlisted students will first go through three months of recruit education, and then they will go through three months of non-commissioned officer education, and only after the completion of the basic education in this half year will they be promoted to various professional classes for relevant officer education.
In this process, there will be relevant assessments, and those who fail to meet the standards in the middle of the assessment will be dismissed. After the completion of all the academic years, joint exercises will be held, and at the end of the exercises, those who pass will be assigned to combat units and become a junior officer.
In order to train these officers, the military academy expends considerable resources on this, and all the necessary muskets, artillery, and logistics are in sufficient supply, so these cadets who have been educated in the military academy cannot be equated with ordinary soldiers.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the opening ceremony of the Central Army Military Academy in Dachu was officially held, and Ning Yu also wore a neat military uniform, surrounded by many generals in the Privy Council, and presided over the ceremony as the principal.
A full 2,000 cadet soldiers, divided into four cadet battalions, lined up in a neat array on the playground, in addition, there were more than 100 instructors under the leadership of the military academy education director, who also lined up in formation, looking at the emperor on the high platform with great reverence.
"Soldiers, since the first uprising in Wuchang, my Han army has been fighting all the way, overcoming thorns and thorns, to create this situation, from the martial arts hall to the Central Military Academy, it has witnessed the history of blood and fire!"
Ning Yu's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through a simple horn, "Today, the establishment of the Central Military Academy is established for the Northern Expedition, for the unification of China, and for all the sons and daughters of China in the future!" β
"It is your duty to be a soldier and fight, and being loyal to the king and serving the country is your real background!"
"Loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to Da Chu!"
The neat and unified cheers passed over like a wave, and the scene composed of the fiery red military uniforms became the scenery in everyone's memory.
After the ceremony, Ning Yu also had a dinner with all the instructor teams alone, which was naturally a great honor for the instructors, after all, not everyone had the opportunity to eat with the emperor.
Of course, this is also a measure for Ning Yu to buy people's hearts, through these small actions, it is completely possible to make the instructors' loyalty to the emperor rise to the bottom of the incomprehensible, which also makes Ning Yu's control of the military academy a deeper level.
Although there is no extravagance of the palace banquet, it also reveals a bit of the pride of a military man, and Ning Yu has also held the army for a long time in the past, so he will naturally not be unfamiliar with this atmosphere.
Ning Yu held the wine glass in his hand, with a little drunkenness on his face, and said in a loud voice: "He Yun is first?" β
He Yunxian, who had been unknown in the instructor team, was immediately excited, he quickly stood up and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, He Yunxian is here." β
"I still remember, you are a veteran who has been in the army since Changsha, and now that you are an instructor, I will be relieved......" Ning Yu nodded, and the wine on his face became a little stronger.
He Yunxian stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, and said humbly: "If it weren't for the Fu Han Army, the minister would have starved to death a long time ago, and the minister will always remember His Majesty's kindness and never forget it!" β
Ning Yu was a little silent, "I have been fighting for a few years, but I don't know how many people can still drink and have fun with me......" The emotion in his tone was overflowing.
"To die for Da Chu, to die for His Majesty, it is an honor for the ministers!"
All the instructors stood up, they were all veterans of the Fuhan Army, and they were all very elite groups, for the plan of the Central Military Academy, they would get out of the front-line troops and join the military academy, together with the officers who used to lecture on martial arts, forming the current instructor team.
Ning Yu nodded lightly and said: "In the military academy, you are the main factor in cultivating cadets, so what kind of talents you can get in the future has a lot to do with you, and you can put forward any requirements, and I will not treat you badly." β
He Yun heard Ning Yu's words first, and then said in a loud voice: "The minister has nothing else to ask for, but on the day of the Northern Expedition in the future, he can be a pawn for His Majesty!" β
"May the Northern Expedition be a pawn for Your Majesty!"
For the entire Ningchu at the moment, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the Northern Expedition, and it has become a symbol in the army, only the battle of the Northern Expedition can witness all the honors.
"Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, I promise you ......"
Ning Yu drank all the wine in the cup, but the whole person seemed to have fallen into a long-term intoxication.
........
Zhu Yuyan was a little nervous and excited, because he had just received news that the emperor was going to summon him.
You must know that this is the first person summoned by the emperor alone since he came to the military academy, especially a cadet, which undoubtedly makes the other cadets feel envious in addition to surprise.
But those who are valued by the emperor will naturally have a needless to say about their future prospects!
But only Zhu Yuyan knew in his heart that there was probably only one reason why he was summoned, that is, he was a descendant of Zhu Shunshui, and as for why the emperor valued his identity so much, he himself was a little drummed in his heart.
Strictly speaking, among the great Confucians in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shunshui was really not particularly famous, such as Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi and others, it is understandable that they were valued by the emperor, and Zhu Shunshui's fame is more reflected in Japan, and his influence in the country is not particularly large, let alone his descendant.
Of course, no matter what Zhu Yuyan speculated in his heart, once he was summoned by the emperor, there was naturally no room for refusal. He could only obediently follow the guards beside the emperor and go all the way in the direction of the principal's office.
"Zhu Yuyan, it is your honor that Your Majesty summoned you, but don't be too nervous, whatever Your Majesty asks you, you can answer, don't make your own opinions."
"Yes."
Shen Qingyuan is the new deputy director of the attendant room, and he has been following Ning Yu to deal with some things during this time, and his temperament is also extremely gentle and delicate, so he gives people the feeling of being like a spring breeze, but it makes Zhu Yuyan feel a lot of good feelings in his heart.
The two of them walked all the way, and Shen Qingyuan never said anything else except for such a mention, but it was also magical, and Zhu Yuyan at this time really felt that he was not so nervous.
When Zhu Yuyan walked into the principal's office, Shen Qingyuan turned around and left, and gently closed the door.
"Minister Zhu Yuyan knocks on His Majesty'......"
Zhu Yuyan knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to really look up, after all, with his current status, he was really far from the emperor, and if he didn't pay attention to it, it was a crime of great disrespect.
Ning Yu smiled lightly, his voice was extremely clear, "Zhu Yuyan, I thought you didn't want to come to see me." β
"Your Majesty forgives your sins...... Chen really has never thought like this......"
Zhu Yuyan was taken aback, strictly speaking, he was really afraid that Ning Yu would be serious with him, once he was investigated, with his identity, applying for the current Central Military Academy could be charged with a crime with bad intentions.
"Hmph, of course I know what you think, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you today, you know, you have been under the control of the MI from the moment you got off the ship......."
Ning Yu had a smile on his face, but the words he said made Zhu Yuyan break out in a cold sweat.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins, the minister is terrified in his heart, and please ask Your Majesty to forgive the minister's crimes, the minister is willing to return to Dongying and never set foot in Shenzhou again."
"Humph! Cool...... I don't mean anything else when I see you today, I just hope you can understand that the Northern Expedition is by no means just your Zhu family's business, since you have joined my Fu Han army, you can only be loyal to my Dachu in the future, understand? β
Ning Yu snorted coldly, then stood up, then walked in front of Zhu Yuyan, looked at him and said in a low voice: "Your ancestor went to Dongying not for his personal safety, but for the sake of my Huaxia Dao system, now that you have returned to your homeland in China, you need to understand what a hometown person is, and the soul of your hometown ......."
