Chapter 178: Father-in-law, your uncle is finished

"Loyalty!"

"Congratulations to my father-in-law!"

Under the watchful eyes of 68 eunuch cadets who were not disabled, Gonggong Wei left the podium and ended his first lesson in the military and political training camp.

Subsequently, accompanied by relevant personnel, Gonggong Wei came to the instructors' department again and cordially met with the instructors and relevant staff members of the military and political training camp.

According to the requirements of Wei Gonggong, the military and political training camp for eunuchs in the supervision army has a battalion headquarters, a training department, a teaching department, a logistics department and other institutions.

The battalion headquarters is the highest leadership body of the training camp, which is directly under the command of the Ming Emperor's pro-army capital (base camp), and is directly responsible for the operation of the training department, the teaching department, the logistics department and other institutions.

Because the current military and political training camp is mainly responsible for supervising the training of military eunuchs, which is different from the general military training institutions, in addition to Wei Gonggong himself serving as the principal and chief of education of the training camp, it is still necessary to be responsible for the actual work of the eunuchs who were born in the inner court and have a certain level of management.

The former Wei Gonggong planned to transfer a member of the town guard yamen to Taiwan to take up his post, and later considered that most of the lieutenant officials of the town guard and the maritime affairs were not skilled in martial arts, and it was difficult to take on this heavy responsibility, so Wei Gonggong finalized Zhang Hu, the left and right arm of the former Liaodong Da Gaohuai, the former commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and the former Shengong supervisor, to serve as the executive director of the battalion headquarters and be responsible for the daily operation of the training camp.

Zhang Hu is still very talented in managing the army, and in his hands, the Flying Tiger Army has developed from an "accomplice group" composed of dozens of "thugs and helpers" to thousands of elite cavalrymen, and has made great contributions to Gao Huai's tax and political interests in Liaodong.

Since Gao Huai lost power and the Flying Tiger Army gradually turned into the Ming Imperial Army, Zhang Hu has lost his former prestige. Yang Hao lost power and stepped down, and he lost his patronage, so at the suggestion of Yang Hao's staff Jiang Fangyin, he left Liaodong with the general Wang Weidong and others to defect to Wei Liangchen.

Due to various reasons, in the process of forming the imperial army division, Gonggong Wei did not give Zhang Hu a military position, and always "idle" him.

First, he was worried that his taking in Zhang Hu would be exposed; The second is that he is worried that if Zhang Hu is given military power, it may affect the officers in the imperial army who were born in the Flying Tiger Army and threaten the status of his father-in-law himself.

But it is a little unreasonable to have Zhang Hu idle, if it were not for Zhang Hu to hand over Zheng Duo and others to Gonggong Wei, how could Gonggong Wei start from scratch and single-handedly create the great Ming Emperor's army.

People can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the post of executive director of the military and political training camp of the eunuch supervising the army is handed over to Zhang Hu, which is the best arrangement.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Gonggong Wei renamed Zhang Hu Zhang Baozhong and granted him the post of Inspector of the Maritime Yamen Sub-Inspectorate. This is the official establishment of the imperial court, from the seventh grade.

After Zhang Hu was appointed, he set off from the Special Administrative Region to Taiwan, and he brought people to report to Gonggong Wei for the selection of the military and political training camp by the Tamsui River, and he also single-handedly handled the construction of the school building and other matters afterwards. Although there are still many shortcomings, he has done his best, so that Gonggong Wei can rest assured that the training camp will be in his hands.

Most of the personnel of the training department, the training department, the logistics department, and other institutions were drawn from the staff headquarters of the base camp and the combined fleet, and among the instructors were several foreigners who had been hired heavily from Macao.

In order to consolidate the foundation of the military and political training camp, expand the teaching staff, strengthen and improve the teaching system of the training camp, and lay a solid foundation for the Central Military Academy of the Imperial Army in the future, Gonggong Wei has sent a letter to the Catholic Church in Macao, ordering the Jesuits in Macao to increase the recruitment of outstanding Western talents in his capacity as a purple bishop. At the same time, Chen Mo in Beijing was asked to spare no expense to recruit talents from all over the country, in order to combine China and the West, and build the training camp into the most advanced military academy in the 17th century.

In addition, Gonggong Wei personally wrote to Pope Paul V, hoping that the Holy See would give the greatest financial and human support to the Eastern Diocese.

The reason given by Gonggong Wei was naturally the crusade that the Eastern Diocese was preparing to fight against the shogunate.

Paul V attached great importance to the East, and the formation and expansion of the Eastern diocese was in his personal interest, so Paul V was supportive of the crusade against the Japanese shogunate. This has been confirmed by Stallone.

In this letter, Wei Gonggong also put forward the concept of "holy warrior", he believed that in the process of conquering evil, a large-scale war would inevitably break out, and then there would be thousands of God believers who would sacrifice for God's cause. Therefore, it is necessary to give these God warriors the glorious title of "Saint Seiya", so that they can better maintain the peace of the earth and the justice of God.

Gonggong Wei hoped that if His Excellency the Pope recognized the title of "Saint Seiya", then he could take the lead in promoting this matter in the Eastern Diocese.

In the process of meeting with the teachers and related staff, Grandpa Wei asked a lot of professional and specific matters, some of which were difficult for even the instructors to answer, so he admired Grandpa Wei more and more.

The father-in-law encouraged the teachers to devote themselves to the training camp in the spirit of teaching and educating people, cultivating excellent eunuchs for the Ming Imperial Army, and contributing to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

The father-in-law repeatedly instructed Zhang Hu that he must give the teachers the best treatment, and must not let them worry about things outside their bodies. At the same time, the father-in-law encouraged the faculty and related staff to carry out research and research, and the training camp and his father-in-law Wei unconditionally supported their scientific and technological innovation.

In the training and study of the military cadets, Gonggong Wei demanded that the training department and the teaching department must strictly control the pass, and set up a special examination system, with monthly examinations, quarterly examinations, and annual examinations, to ensure that the cadets can quickly enter the work after the completion of their studies, instead of messing around here and filling up the numbers.

Time always flies quickly, the three-day training camp life let Wei Gonggong and the students, instructors and staff form a deep relationship, before leaving, Wei Gonggong came to the students again, earnestly sent a message, to the students in the training camp to love each other, and help each other, like siblings, the relationship should be harmonious. Because of the harmonious relationship, the spirit of mutual help can be fully brought into play when doing things.

"The trainees in our training camp are all from the north, and you have come thousands of miles to study here, and you have great hopes and ambitions for the future. If you want to achieve this hope and ambition, you must sacrifice your personal freedom and personal equality, and contribute your own freedom and equality to your majesty's great maritime cause. ”

It can be said that Gonggong Wei is already a man of his word here, and everything he says and does has an amazing impact on the imperial army and the students.

He said goodbye to the trainees from the bottom of his heart, hoping that they would be able to apply all the knowledge they had learned in the training camp to all aspects of their lives and their own work in the future.

In the end, under the reluctant gaze of the teachers and students, Grandpa Wei turned over and said goodbye to them. Subsequently, accompanied by relevant personnel, Gonggong Wei went to the headquarters of the Combined Fleet in Keelung Harbor.

As soon as he arrived in Keelung, Cui Yingyuan, who arrived from Zhongzuo in Fujian on a combined fleet warship, brought bad news to his father-in-law without waiting for his father-in-law to summon the generals of the Combined Fleet.

"Huh? My second uncle sent someone to prison? ”

Father-in-law Wei tore open Li Yongzhen's letter brought by Cui Yingyuan, and said, "Who is so bold as to detain my second uncle?" Didn't you tell us our names? ”

"Reported."

Cui Yingyuan's servants came from Jingshi, and he was tired enough to choke all the way.

"Then which bastard would dare to lock up my second uncle!"

Father-in-law Wei couldn't help but feel very angry, what's the matter, the tiger left Beijing, and someone treated him as a sick cat!

"Father-in-law, it's... It's Your Majesty. Cui Yingyuan whispered.

The father-in-law's mouth instantly became an "O" shape.
