According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the second day of the new year is the day of burning incense, and the queen mother led a group of daughters-in-law out of the palace early in the morning, and it is estimated that she will be able to come back in the afternoon. The third day of the first year is to accompany foreign envoys to the Imperial Garden to shoot arrows, and this dynasty has to select military ministers who are good at archery to accompany them.

More than 10 people in the arrow squad stood in front of the arrow stack, and the messenger shot arrows with a crossbow, first by a Liao man who wrapped a small head without feet and wore a brocade jacket, stepped on the crossbow, danced and swirled, set up arrows, and aimed, and then corrected and sent arrows by the Liao envoys. In the Song Dynasty, the emperor rewarded the military with a costume, a silver saddle, a horse, clothes, and gold and silver utensils. In fact, it is also a kind of show of force to deter the enemy country.

However, the Great Song Dynasty, which had just returned to the south of the Yangtze River, had all defected, and the only enemy at present was Meng Yuan, but the two sides were still at war, and it was impossible to send each other to congratulate each other. So Zhao Yu changed to summon the military ministers in Beijing and into the court to go to the school to shoot archery and martial arts, early in the morning he changed his uniform, under the escort of Ni Liang and Chen Dun, led the guard battalion outside the palace gate to meet the generals who came to the edict, and rode to the school field.

Because the original palace city had been burned down by Meng Yuan, Zhao Yu chose the North Palace as the new palace and no longer spent a lot of money to restore the old palace. However, the old palace was too close to the central center, and if it was left to be abandoned, not only would it be a waste of land, but it would also be unsuitable for rebuilding the courtiers' mansions because it was once the location of Ouchi, and there were still a lot of ruins in it, making it easy to become a hiding place for bandits. So Zhao Yu ordered most of the imperial city to be converted into a military camp as a camp for the imperial guards as a camp for the imperial guards as early as a camp for the imperial guards, and Wansong Mountain at the northern foot of Phoenix Mountain was rebuilt into Guozijian and Taixue, collectively known as Wansong Academy.

When he first came to this era, Zhao Yu didn't know the difference between Guozijian and Taixue, and always thought that this was the same institution, the highest institution in a country. But later I found out that I was wrong, in fact, Guozijian should be the management body of the state-run government, state, and county schools across the country, and its functions are similar to those of the modern Ministry of Education. And Taixue is the highest institution of learning in the country.

However, Zhao Yu also found that he was not entirely wrong in thinking so, as early as the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he inherited the Tang system, set up Xijing Guozijian and Tokyo Guozijian, and increased the jurisdiction of martial arts. Guozijian has also changed its name repeatedly, sometimes called Guozijian, sometimes called Guozixue, and its functions have a dual nature, one is to serve as the highest management body of government and learning, and the other is the highest institution of learning for students.

Taixue is still the highest institution of learning, and it is subordinate to the national superintendent. However, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, only Guozijian was set up, and the number of students was very small, and only the children of officials above the seventh grade were accepted. In the fourth year of Renzong's Qingli, Fan Zhongyan implemented the new policy, and began to establish a university in Xiqing Academy, Kaifeng, Tokyo, recruiting 200 students from the Inner School, and using Hu Ming's lake study method to formulate the "Taixue Order". It was only at that time that Shenzong expanded Taixue, increased the number of students to 2,400, set up 80 fasts, and reformulated the Taixue system and implemented the three-round method.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong, the construction of Biyong as a foreign school, Taixue enrolled a total of 3,800 people, and at the same time abolished the imperial examination, talents were selected by the school, and Taixue reached its heyday. In the 12th year of Shaoxing after the southern crossing, Taixue was rebuilt in Lin'an Mansion, and there were more than 1,700 students when the Song Dynasty died. Therefore, Taixue in the Song Dynasty has formed a relatively complete set of academic system.

Tai students are recruited from the children of officials below the eighth rank and the outstanding children of commoners. During the celebration period, the inner students were provided with food and drink by Taixue. Shenzong Xining five years), the outside students are also fed by Taixue. However, after arriving in Nandu, students from other houses enrolled in school must pay "fasting money" before they can eat in the official kitchen; halved for the poor; The inner shepherds and the fasting chiefs are exempted.

Each student learns a scripture and is taught by his or her academic officer. Students are divided into three classes, namely the upper house, the inner house, and the outer house. The system of assessing students' grades and students' promotion, known as the "three-rounding method", stipulates that new students enter the outer dormitory to study, pass the public examination and private examination, and refer to the weekday art to promote and supplement the inner dormitory. Students who are admitted to the school take the examination once every two years, and the test results and the scores of the public and private examinations of the year are all excellent. One excellent and one flat is a middle-class student, and is allowed to be exempted from the Ministry of Examination; If two equals or one excellent and one excellent student are inferior, they will be exempted from the examination. Students will no longer participate in the public examination. The private examination is conducted once a month, and the students are self-examined by the academic officials; The public examination is held once a year and is presided over by the imperial court.

Students are divided into fasting and studying, each fasting is 30 people, five rooms and one furnace pavilion are the reading and meeting places for the whole fast, and there is a fasting chief and a fasting edict respectively, who are responsible for supervising and inspecting the students' performance. The academic officer is the same as Tang Luo, but there is no teaching assistant, direct speaking, and the number of scholars, academic records, supervision of the library, supervision of the kitchen officer, etc. The clerk is called a student or a ministry, and there are front porch school records, academic oracles, direct learning, etc., most of which are held by upper or inner students, and they have a monthly salary. Workers are called fasting servants, fasting and so on, and also receive "monthly pay".

In the Song Dynasty, Taixue cultivated a large number of officials and scholars, and with the gradual formation of science and the ups and downs of political struggles, Taixue also became a place for the dissemination of science and the competition of various political forces. Some Tai students actively participated in state affairs, wrote and talked about things, and promoted the development of history and society, and the Taixue system of the Song Dynasty had a great influence on the education of later generations.

At that time, Zhao Yu personally surveyed the site and assigned the original site of the Eighth Battalion of the Forbidden Army of Wansongling and the original site of the Xiunei Division Camp to Guozijian, covering an area of about 100 acres, but he had not come to see it after it was completed. This time, after passing the Liubu station, the group turned west and followed the old road around the imperial city along the mountain, just passing in front of the Guozijian, and they could also take a look by the way.

At that time, Zhao Yu asked the academy built by the Ministry of Industry to set the three major functions of book collection, worship and lectures, and the current architectural layout from the outside still follows the form of "left temple and right learning" of official schools. There is Dacheng Hall near the mountain on the left, the big three bays, it is the sacrificial place of the academy, and there is Yan Le Pavilion in front of the hall. The high place is built to stay on the platform and the lake platform. On the right side of the Confucius Palace, there is Wansong Gate in front of you, and there is Mingdao Hall in the back. The hall is five bays, spacious and magnificent, and it is a classroom for Mr. to "explain the scriptures". There are five rooms on each side of the west corridor, which are places for teachers and students to study on their own.

The main buildings of the academy include Yangshengmen, Mingdao Hall, Dacheng Hall, Yuxiu Pavilion and so on. Among them, Yuxiu Pavilion was originally a place to receive visiting scholars from all over the world, and Mingdao Hall was a lecture hall of the college, with a total of 100 rooms, which served as classrooms and office areas for learners. At the back are the dormitories and rest areas for students, which have been converted from the former barracks, but with more pavilions and more flowers.

According to Zhao Yu's vision, the entire area is basically divided into three areas, divided into A, B, C, and Lent. As the main body of the academy, the students are mainly from the local government and state schools to select outstanding students, according to the 'three rounding method' for management and selection, the outstanding can also be exempted from the imperial examination to enter the office, Yi Zhai is through the imperial examination to obtain the status of jinshi, they have to go through a year of study here, according to the subject to learn how to be an official, after passing the examination can become a general. Those who fail to pass the test will be disqualified after one year of re-study, and will only retain the status of Jinshi.

Bingzhai is the second generation of officials who have obtained official status in the shadow, if they want to become officials, they must also go through two years of study here, and they can only become officials after passing the examination. If you fail the exam repeatedly, there will only be an honorary title left, and you won't want to be an official for the rest of your life. In addition, the academy can also undertake some short-term training, such as changing from a Beijing official to a local official, or a local official entering Beijing, and an official changing from a military officer to a civilian official, all of which must be trained, so that they can understand the local customs and matters that should be paid attention to, etc., so that they will not be blinded by the local government and know nothing.

Since Guozijian is subordinate to martial arts, it is naturally impossible to do so. Based on the New Army Training Camp and the Naval Academy in Qiongzhou, Zhao Yu was reorganized into the Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts School, which served as the school's highest armed force in the country. The site of the courtyard is selected at the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain, which is only separated by a mountain from Taixue, and is rebuilt on the basis of the true temple of the original imperial city, the temple division yamen, the Chaoma courtyard and the capital courtyard and the armory.

Zhao Yu still set the school system at two years, one year of basic training and common subject study, and one year of professional subject study. The infantry army is still divided into four sections: infantry, cavalry, artillery, and baggage, but in terms of specialization, the requirements for refinement and actual combat have also been further strengthened. The navy is divided into five sections: command, sail and cable, weapons and navigation, and baggage, and they will also conduct basic training and theoretical training here, and after completion, they will be transferred to two bases in Taihu Lake and Hangzhou Bay for practical study in the second year. In addition, there is a non-commissioned officer school and a staff school to train junior non-commissioned officers and military staff.

In addition, the martial arts academy has also set up advanced training courses for middle-level officers and senior officers, as a pre-employment training for newly promoted officers, where they will learn more in-depth military theoretical knowledge of relevant positions and specialties, as well as relevant knowledge of managing and commanding and dispatching troops, organizing battles and campaigns, and completing the promotion of levels.

Nowadays, in addition to the outstanding soldiers and grass-roots officers recommended by various ministries, there are also some soldiers who intend to join the army, and with the improvement of the material and political treatment of soldiers, more and more soldiers have participated in the annual martial arts entrance examination, and gradually become the backbone of the army, gradually changing the structure of the army.

In the eyes of the world, although both civil and military schools are under the management of the Guozijian, neither the courtiers nor the officials of the Guozijian think so. According to His Majesty's edict, the leadership of the Taixue belongs to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Martial Arts belongs to the Ministry of War, but they both belong to the Guozijian for management. However, the Ministry of War and the Guozijian both said that they could not manage martial arts, and they had to ask His Majesty for instructions on all matters, even during the period of the little emperor's cultivation, and no one dared to challenge His Majesty's majesty.

Therefore, some people inevitably say in private that only those who are named on the gold list today can be called the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and if they enter the gate of martial arts, they can become the protégé of the Son of Heaven. The courtiers also thought that the reason why the little emperor nominally placed martial arts under the supervision of the prince was because they had the power to grant the upper monks the qualification to be exempted from the provincial examination. In this way, after completing their studies, martial arts students will have qualifications at the same time, which can lay the foundation for future transfer to civil officials......

And the place where Zhao Yu and the others are going to shoot arrows is the school field located in the martial arts school, where there was originally an upper school field on the mountainside, a lower school field on the top of the mountain, and a large school field in the palace yamen. The three school fields are the most complete of the original palace division Yamen University, and they are also the place where the martial arts headquarters are located, so Zhao Yu set this place as the place where the shooting is here.

"Your Majesty, please shoot first!" Martial arts has already been informed, and His Majesty has come to practice shooting today, so the target stacks have already been erected in the school yard and bows and arrows have been prepared. After taking a nap, Zhao Mengjin handed over a bow and said with a smile.

"Is this bow a little smaller?" Zhao Yu took the bow, hooked the bowstring with his fingers and pulled it away easily, and gently put it back.

It was also in this era that he learned that those generals and heroes in the TV series tried the bow, and they all fought with their arms to pull the bow apart, and then let go of their fingers, and the bowstring made a tense sound to show its infinite strength. In fact, that can only show that this person doesn't know how to shoot arrows at all, and releasing the empty string is actually the easiest way to damage the bow, and no martial artist will play with air shooting unless he deliberately destroys the opponent's bow. If you think further, the idiom 'frightened bird' may have been imagined.

"Your Majesty, this is already a five-bucket bow, just for the young man to use!" Zhao Mengjin was a little surprised.

"Get another one!" Zhao Yu handed the bow to him and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Your Majesty, use this one!" Jiang Cheng took the bow from the bow frame and handed it over.

"Hey!" Zhao Yu took it, fought with his arms, still opened the bow easily, relaxed the bow and shook his head, "It's still a little smaller." ”

"Your Majesty, this is already a nine-bucket bow, and this is the only number commonly used by archers in the army. Chen Manli can only use a bow with one stone and five buckets! Jiang Cheng said with some surprise.

"Then change to a bow of stone and a half that is the same as yours!" Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty is still young, don't be reckless, if you hurt your muscles and bones, it won't be beautiful!" Liu Zhu also stepped forward to persuade him, he was also good at shooting before, so he knew very well the harm of forcibly pulling the bow, and the age of the stone half bow for the little emperor was already the limit in his opinion.

"I know the severity, try it!" Zhao Hao said with a smile, because he didn't know how big a bow he could shoot, but after he had a musket, the old monk Yuan Miao was still forcing him to practice archery, wanting to build him into a martial emperor who was as skilled as Taizu.

"Your Majesty must stop in moderation, don't force it!" Jiang Cheng changed the bow for the little emperor, and still instructed uneasily.

"Good!" Zhao Yu didn't try the bow this time, took a carved arrow and put it on the string, shouted hello but didn't pull the bow with force, but slowly strengthened the bow to open, aimed at the target and took a slight aim, and then spread the bowstring and released the arrow.

The 'boring ......' arrow flew out and hit the target stack, and the sergeant who was inspecting the target there rang the gong, indicating that it was in the middle of the red heart.

"Your Majesty's Divine Shooting!" The generals cheered in unison, but more of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's only fifty steps, try to change the bow with two stones, and move the target buttress back thirty paces!" Zhao Yu knew that everyone had placed the target within fifty steps to please him, but he wanted to know what his strength was......
