Coming out of the Firearms Bureau, Ning Xiu and Sun Wufan came to the military academy on Wuzhushan Island.

After a period of exploration, the military school is on the right track. This is also what makes Ning Xiu feel gratified.

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have relied on the master to lead the apprentice to train officers.

There is a big problem in doing this, that is, how the "apprentices" are brought out depends on the level of the master.

In other words, this training model is doomed to the scarcity of excellent generals.

In war, the quality of the generals often determines the direction of the campaign.

As the saying goes, one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies.

And if a general is brave, he can often turn the tide of the war against the tide.

The gap between them is self-evident.

Therefore, Ning Xiu came up with the idea of establishing a military academy to train officers.

It turned out that his idea was still achievable.

Military schools can give ordinary people the opportunity to consider problems from the perspective of officers and generals, and provide them with the opportunity to tap into their own wisdom.

It's just that the officers trained by military schools are excellent at most, but excellent is enough.

As long as Ning Xiu cultivates a group of excellent officers, he can let them train in actual combat. He believes that eventually these people can grow to the point where they can be independent.

Of course, this is also good for Ning Xiu. Because he is the principal of the military academy, theoretically all the students trained by the military academy are his protégés.

The teacher-student relationship was still important in later generations, let alone in the Ming Dynasty.

Those officers who have graduated from military schools will remember who gave them the opportunity to study, who promoted them.

This relationship will always exist, and Ning Xiu's control over the army will also be greatly enhanced.

Of course, theoretically this is an act of digging into the corners of the Ming Dynasty. However, if he didn't do this, he could only watch Da Ming go to extinction, which Ning Xiu would never want to see.

Sun Wufan was also full of emotion after a visit.

It seems that Ning Xiu will always give birth to some wonderful ideas, but these wonderful ideas are very valuable.

It's really a talent.

"Brother Ning Xian, I have a reluctant request."

Seeing that there was no one around, Sun Wufan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Can you also let me study this military school?" ”

Ning Xiu was surprised and said, "How could Brother Sun have such an idea? ”

In his impression, Sun Wufan is a businessman through and through. How could such a person want to go to a military school?

"To tell you the truth, I wanted to be a general when I was a child."

Sun Wufan sighed: "Brother Ning Xian also knows that the military attache has no status in Daming, and his father will never agree." ”

Although Ning Xiu's Xindao military general has no status, he is also an official. This Sun Wu Fan military general did not succeed but went to be a businessman, I really don't know if Governor Sun was half dead of anger at that time.

"Brother Ning Xian, this is my regret all along. I also know that it is impossible to be a military general in this life. You just let me go to military school, how about having a good time? ”

"This..."

Ning Xiu fell into deep thought for a moment.

To say that Sun Wufan's request is not excessive. With his relationship with Sun Wufan, there is no reason to refuse.

But the establishment of the military academy is to train officers, and Sun Wufan is just to have an addiction, is that a little inappropriate?

Seeing that Ning Xiu was a little hesitant, Sun Wufan hurriedly said: "Brother Ning Xian, don't worry, I will definitely study hard in the military academy and will never cause trouble for you." ”

Ning Xiu sighed and said, "In that case, Brother Sun will come to the military academy tomorrow to study." ”

"Haha, thank you Brother Ning Xian."

He rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, what about my brother and sister?" ”

Ning Xiu coughed and said, "She is also on this island and is now raising a baby." ”

"Ahh So soon. Brother Ning Xian, you are really capable! ”

Sun Wufan laughed: "Take me to see it." ”

Ning Xiuhu said suspiciously: "What the hell is Brother Sun's idea?" ”

"It's really nothing, it's just that I'm here and don't see my brother and sister, I'm afraid it's not good."

"That's fine."

Ning Xiu nodded and said in a harmonious voice, "Come with me." ”

...

...

Zhang Maoxiu never thought that he would be sent to Guangdong to serve as the imperial governor.

He originally thought that he would stay in the Inspectorate for a year or two and then go to the Sixth Department to be the director, but who would have thought that he would be directly sent to the local area to inspect.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this in theory, after all, his current official position is the imperial history, and it is also his duty to inspect the place.

But why Guangdong?

This is something that Zhang Maoxiu can't figure out.

But one thing is excellent, he can reunite with Ning Xiu.

Ning Xiu is now serving as an envoy in Guangdong, and he also holds the position of commander of Xiangshan County.

The area that Zhang Maoxiu inspected was the entire Guangdong Political Division, so he could definitely meet Ning Xiu.

Since the farewell of the Beijing teacher, the two have not sat together for a long time to talk. Although they still keep up with each other, the feeling is very different from face-to-face small talk.

After Zhang Maoxiu told his father the news, Zhang Juzheng didn't say much, but only told Zhang Maoxiu to keep a low profile and not behave aggressively.

For his father's teachings, Zhang Maoxiu naturally kept them in mind.

He also knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the world now, hoping that he would make a mistake.

As long as Zhang Maoxiu makes a mistake, these people can rightfully attribute the blame to Zhang Juzheng.

Of course, Zhang Maoxiu will not behave as a cheater, he wants to demand himself according to the standards of the ancient sages, and not let any villain have a chance.

After Zhang Maoxiu completed the formalities from the Ministry of Officials, he left Beijing in a carriage and went to Guangdong.

It's still September, so if you hurry up, you can still arrive before the Chinese New Year. If you leave later, I'm afraid it will take ten years of Wanli to arrive.

In order to facilitate Zhang Maoxiu, he decided to take a section of the canal first, and then go to Guangdong by land when he arrived in Yangzhou.

In fact, it is much more convenient to take the sea route by boat, and it takes less than a month to travel from Tianjin to Guangdong. But at this time, after all, the Ming Dynasty did not completely release the sea ban, and there was no line from Tianjin to Guangdong, so Zhang Maoxiu could only endure the hardships of the bumps.

Fortunately, the journey was quite smooth, and he also arrived in Guangzhou Mansion before the end of the year.

As a patrol of the imperial history, you can't live in the local yamen, but in a separate court.

It is said that this was to prevent Goshi from accepting bribes from magistrates and thus becoming corrupted.

But if you think about it carefully, if the magistrate really wants to pay bribes to the imperial history, won't he live farther away?

But this is the rule after all, and Zhang Maoxiu will not break it.

The procuratorate prepared by the prefect of Guangzhou is a three-entry courtyard, in which small bridges and flowing water, rockeries are stacked, and the exquisiteness is incomparable.

This is enough to see the fear of the magistrate for the imperial history. After all, a sentence from the imperial history can demote the evaluation of the magistrate, and even directly lose the black yarn.

Although the prefect of Guangzhou is a fourth-grade and the imperial history is a seventh-grade, he still has to be respectful to Zhang Maoxiu.

What's more, Zhang Maoxiu is Zhang Juzheng's son, so it is even more necessary to serve him like a father
