In the Qianqing Palace of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, in the huge study of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi sat on his large desk and was carefully reading the courses and content taught at the Ming Imperial Military Academy.

For the Ming Imperial Military Academy, Emperor Hongzhi attaches great importance to it.

This military academy pinned on the hopes and dreams of Emperor Hongzhi to strengthen the army and the country, and it is also the core and focus of the reform of the new military system.

Of course, as an emperor, Emperor Hongji, like other emperors, still attaches the most importance to the loyalty of the army.

Whether the army can be firmly controlled in their own hands, and whether the generals of the army can always keep themselves centered, are very important things.

The emperors of all dynasties are actually very clear that there will be many problems with the use of Wenchen to unify the army, which will lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, but they have always insisted on this, why?

It's not because civilian officials are in charge of the army that people are more reassured, after all, Xiucai rebelled and failed for ten years.

Therefore, it is better for the combat effectiveness of this army to decline, and it is better to be softer when it is external, that is to ensure its absolute rule and security, and it will also support the civilian clique to suppress the military generals and nobles.

But when it came to Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi also knew this, but now the Ming Dynasty has reached the time when he has to change the military system, and now the change may cause many problems and turmoil, but this is not the case, if it continues like this, the Ming Dynasty is destined to perish.

Because the military household system has been completely corrupted, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is very low, and the seemingly powerful Ming is actually more like a paper tiger, which can be broken when stabbed.

The steppe people in the north can go south every year, the southeast coastal areas are still rampant with pirates and pirates, and the southwest Tusi is unstable, which is enough to show this.

Although Daming is big, it is really not strong, it is a paper tiger.

In the past, this paper tiger could barely cope with it, and it could last for more than a hundred years, but now it is not good.

The rise of the new capitalism of the Ming Dynasty and the rapid expansion of overseas interests all determined that the Ming Dynasty must build a powerful army to protect the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi is now the largest capitalist, and every year he can earn tens of millions of taels of silver from doing business in Korea and the Wa Kingdom, plus the gold of the Golden Continent, and the products produced by many factories and industries also need domestic and foreign markets.

This determined that Emperor Hongzhi, as a new capitalist, had to consider his own interests.

If you want to go to the Japanese and Korea to do business, these pirates and pirates must be cracked down; If you want to go to the Golden Continent to dig for gold and do business with the descendants of Yin Shang, you also need strong force.

This year, the Nanyang and Australia routes will be opened, and there are more pirates in the Nanyang and Australian regions, and the natives in the Nanyang region are very ferocious, which also requires strong force.

In short, whether it is the urgent need of the present or the consideration of the future, a strong army is needed.

This is also the reason why he made up his mind to change the military system.

If the military system is to be reformed, he is also worried about whether the army after the reform will be in his own hands and whether he will be loyal to himself, which is also very important.

"Nice, nice~"

"This textbook is well written, Liu Jin's work is really reassuring~"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the teaching textbook of the military academy, and the whole person laughed happily.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty written in the books are all very perfect, they are all gods, even if it is Emperor Hongzhi's father Ming Xianzong, this famous faint monarch is also written very perfectly, and his glorious side is constantly magnified, so that Emperor Hongzhi can't help but bow and worship.

Regarding the description of Emperor Hongzhi himself, it is even deeper in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi, who is kind-hearted, loves the people like a son, is diligent and thrifty, is diligent in government affairs, is open to speech, is not close to women, knows people and makes good use of them, works hard, and breaks the Tatars.

The Hongzhi Emperor in the book is almost the most perfect emperor, the first emperor of the ages, the greatest emperor in history, and the god believed by countless people of the Ming Dynasty.

The kind of content that even Emperor Hongzhi himself blushed when he read it.

"Xiao Jing, is the situation on the military academy's side the same as the report?"

Then after Emperor Hongzhi pondered, he asked Xiao Jing next to him.

He is now also accustomed to asking Xiao Jing to see the report from the factory guard.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no discrepancy, the most important thing on the side of the Royal Military Academy is loyalty and honor, emphasizing that soldiers must be loyal to Your Majesty, swear allegiance to Your Majesty, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."

Xiao Jing hurriedly replied respectfully.

In fact, now Jinyiwei and Factory Guard have arranged a lot of spies in the Ming Royal Military Academy, some of them enter in the form of recruits, some enter in the form of instructors, and some are staff members of the military academy.

In short, the power of the factory guards is pervasive, infiltrating all aspects of the Ming Royal Military Academy and the new army, and there are reports sent to the desk of Emperor Hongzhi every day.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction.

The new army is too important, and Emperor Hongzhi's silver is spent like flowing water, so whether this can create a strong army or not, at least for now, this is at least very loyal to himself.

is brainwashing every day, and they are constantly telling the glorious deeds of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, telling that without Zhu Yuanzhang, there would be no Ming Dynasty, and there would be no good life for the Han family now, etc.

"How is the prince at the military academy?"

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi thought of Zhu Houzhao again, this Zhu Houzhao likes military affairs, he knows it, he can't stand Zhu Houzhao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he also promised to let Zhu Houzhao go to the military academy to experience and experience.

This point was also opposed by the collective civil officials, especially the three elders of the cabinet, as well as Zhu Houzhao's teacher Yang Tinghe, who directly submitted several letters of resignation.

Yang Tinghe felt that he didn't have the face to be a teacher for Zhu Houzhao, and one of his great Confucian students actually went to the military academy to mingle with Qiu Ba.

How can these instructors and teachers in the military academy compare with himself, he even feels as if he has been insulted.

The opposition of the civilian clique naturally has reasons for opposition, and this prince has been honed in the military academy, so he naturally gets closer to these soldiers, which is extremely unfavorable to the civilian clique.

The prince is related to the future, and the civil and official group has always attached the most importance to it, and many times it doesn't matter if they can't fight now, they have already started in terms of successors.

Like Emperor Hongzhi is a typical example.

His father Ming Xianzong likes to use the power of the factory guard, the east factory, Jinyi Wei is not enough, but also set up the west factory, when Ming Xianzong was in power, the entire government and the opposition were shrouded in the shadow of the factory guard, and the factory of the west factory was even more high-flying and domineering.

The civil officials can't fight the factory guards, so what should they do?

Starting from the successor, he concentrated on cultivating Emperor Hongzhi and led Emperor Hongzhi astray, so Emperor Hongzhi trusted Wenchen very much and reused civil officials, but he was very cold to the factory guard.

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he directly abolished the West Factory, and the factory guards entered the cold palace, and the spring of the civil officials arrived.

Now the crown prince is running to the mixed military camp, mingling with the sons and daughters of the military generals and nobles, and estranged from them, the civil servants, which is not a good thing.

Zhu Houzhao didn't like them in the first place, and admired Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and then went to the military academy to sharpen it, which was even more unfavorable to them.

When Zhu Houzhao becomes the emperor, will there be a place for these civil servants?

Therefore, now the ministers of the court are writing to Emperor Hongzhi almost every day, asking him to recall the prince and not be able to mix in the military academy, and at the same time, he is also asking Emperor Hongzhi to choose a famous teacher for the prince to teach.

Emperor Hongzhi ignored these notes.

He is no longer the former Hongzhi Emperor, and he has seen the faces of these civil officials clearly, and he trusts his intuition and judgment more.

He felt that Zhu Houzhao went to the military academy to experience and train, which was actually a good thing, and it was good for Zhu Houzhao to control the army in the future.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness is very good in the military academy, and he is among the best in all assessments."

Xiao Jing replied respectfully.

"This kid has liked this kind of things since he was a child, let him go, maybe it's good to experience and train in a military school."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction.

He knows everything about his son, he knows everything clearly, where he goes every day, what he does, etc., he knows everything clearly.

After all, there is only one son, he looks very seriously, very seriously, and also has great hopes, after all, the Ming dynasty still has to rely on Zhu Houzhao to inherit.

"He hasn't touched anything anymore, has he?"

Then Emperor Hongzhi seemed to think of something again, and asked after a deep thought.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness has no contact with anything anymore, no one in the East Palace dares to let His Highness come into contact, and after entering the military academy, there is no chance to contact it."

"Now all of His Highness's energy is also focused on all aspects of the military academy."

Xiao Jing hurriedly replied.

He clearly knew what Emperor Hongzhi meant by that aspect, since Liu Jin said that too early contact with men and women would lead to infertility, Emperor Hongzhi gave a death order in this regard.

The many books, drawings and other books collected by Zhu Houzhao were collected cleanly, and even the palace maids in the East Palace Prince's Mansion were all replaced by eunuchs, and it was even decreed that if anyone broke Zhu Houzhao in this regard, the nine clans would be punished.

He was really frightened by Liu Jin's words.

How is it a lone seedling, if Zhu Houzhao is unable to have children because of premature contact with any aspect of the matter, and has a short life and does not live long, where should the Ming Dynasty go?
