Chapter 21 Military Academy Opening

On the ninth day of the fifth month, Nanjing Guozijian.

Early this morning, in front of the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, there were fragrant cars and BMWs rushing on the road, which was very lively. But the excitement is not because of itself, but the establishment of the Huangming Military Academy.

As a government-run school appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, the positioning of the Huangming Military Academy is very clear, that is, to train officers for the Ming Dynasty.

The people who do the things assigned by the Son of Heaven are naturally very attentive. However, the location of this Huangming Military Academy is a difficult matter.

Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, felt that it was very expensive to rebuild an official school, and suggested that the Son of Heaven renovate it on the basis of the existing official school.

Zhu Cihong also felt that the situation was grim now, and every penny had to be saved, so he agreed to Gao Hongtu's suggestion.

There are two sites proposed by Gao Shangshu, one is Nanjing Wuxue, and the other is Nanjing Guozijian.

Both of these are government schools of the Ming Dynasty, and they are easier to renovate.

In terms of type, Nanjing martial arts is closer to the military academy, but Zhu Cihong finally chose to transform Nanjing Guozijian.

Because the scale of Nanjing Martial Arts is too small, there are no extra houses for renovation. If you want to requisition the land, it will be no different from building a new government school.

Moreover, although the two official schools are located in the middle city of Nanjing, the specific locations are a little far apart.

Nanjing Wuxue is located in the south of Sanyuan Lane, east of Paoma Lane, not far from Yingtianfu Ya. The location of Nanjing Guozijian is further north, located in the north of the fourth archway, and the west of Chengxian Street occupies an area of a square area.

If you want to find a reference object for positioning, Nanjing Guozijian is very close to Xuanwu Lake, just south of Yanliu, one of the famous 48 scenic spots of Jinling.

Nanjing Guozijian is too big, and most of the buildings are vacant and unused, so it is very easy to requisition and renovate. There is another important reason why Zhu Cihong chose here, that is, there is the right government of the government army to the east of Guozijian. Although the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is now abolished, the park left behind by it can be used for the students of the Huangming Military Academy to line up and practice. The most suitable place is the small school field of the right office of the government army.

The only problem was that the inmates of the Nanjing Guozijian reacted strongly to this.

The literati and the warriors were two groups that were naturally hostile, especially during the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of scholars, martial artists are a group of Qiu Ba reckless men with developed minds and simple limbs, and now His Majesty the Emperor actually wants to build some of the Guozijian houses in order to build some Huangming Military Academy.

Although this part of the dormitory is not used for free, these prisoners still feel very unhappy.

In their opinion, it doesn't matter where the waste is that they don't need, but it is absolutely unbearable to let the warriors build a military academy.

Therefore, after this plan was finalized, the prisoners of Guozi once gathered in front of Zhengyang Gate to petition.

This is also a killer feature for literati to express their own views. Whether it is a civil official or a scholar who has not entered the office, it is very handy to use.

In their opinion, as long as they gathered a few hundred people, fell to their knees and wept, the Son of Heaven would have to give in.

But this time, the Son of Heaven was indifferent, and ignored them even if they cried and shouted, and finally kneeled with sore knees, and returned to the country prison in a gloomy manner.

After the large-scale petition and protest of the Guozijian prisoners could not be stopped, the Ministry of Industry officially sent people to renovate the Guozijian, circled some of the idle buildings, and completed the tasks assigned by the Son of Heaven in the shortest possible time.

Today is the first day of the establishment of the Huangming Military Academy and the first day of school. For this reason, the Son of Heaven even came in person and delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.

This made the prisoners of the country jealous. You must know that after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he had not come to the country to visit them, the future pillars of the country, and now he was even honored for a group of Qiu Ba......

They really wanted to kneel down in front of the gate of the Huangming Military Academy to express their anger, but considering that they had just knelt outside the Zhengyang Gate for half a day not long ago, and their knees were still sore, they pressed this idea back.

Of course, Zhu Cihong will not have the leisure to meet these prisoners who have nothing to do, and now there are too many things for him to worry about, and there are often many notes that have not been reviewed after a busy day.

This shows the importance of the Cabinet. If there is no cabinet to vote on the recitals handed over by the General Administration, and all the decisions are made by the emperor, it will be really exhausting.

That is, super workaholic like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang can enjoy it.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Huangming Military Academy, the source of students was not sufficient, and the students were basically the sons and nephews of the general soldiers and deputy generals. Of course, this was not Zhu Cihong's original intention. In his vision, the main source of students of the Huangming Military Academy is those who have performed well in the new army, so as to give the soldiers of the new army another ladder to rise in addition to striving for military merits.

However, now the new army has just begun its intensive training, and it will take three months to select the outstanding ones to study at the Huangming Military Academy. Before that, the Huangming Military Academy could not be idle, so it was the best way to select the sons and nephews of the chief soldiers and deputy generals as the first batch of cadets.

This also has the advantage that Zhu Cihong can take the opportunity to entrap these old warlords. Before he completely grasps the military power, he still has to appease these people.

Of course, the sons and nephews of these military generals are also equivalent to hostages to a certain extent, which can make these military leaders throw rats.

After the lecture, Zhu Cihong did not return to the palace immediately, but asked the chamberlain to go to the Guozijian to summon one person.

This person is none other than the famous Zheng Chenggong.

It's just that Zheng Chenggong is still called Zheng Sen at this time, and he is only a prisoner in his early twenties.

After hearing that the Son of Heaven had summoned him, Zheng Sen was very excited, and he didn't care about burning incense and bathing, so he directly followed the chamberlain to the Huangming Military Academy to be summoned by Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong admired Zheng Chenggong very much in his previous life, believing that the surname of the country and Li Dingguo were rare figures in the Southern Ming Dynasty who had the ability to change the trend of history. If Zheng Chenggong's famous Battle of Nanking had been won, perhaps the whole history would have been rewritten.

After the crossing, Zhu Cihong also very much wanted to meet Zheng Chenggong, although Zheng Chenggong had not yet emerged at this time, but it was always right for a good seedling to receive it earlier.

Zhu Cihong, who wore a winged crown and a bright yellow dragon uniform, sat at the head of the martial arts hall of the Huangming Military Academy. This position was supposed to be sat by the lecturer, of course, Zhu Cihong had no problem sitting here, after all, he was the principal of the Huangming Military Academy.

"Xuanguozi Prison Supervisor Zheng Sen will see you!"

Zhu Cihong carefully looked at the young man who walked into the martial arts hall with square steps.

I saw Zheng Sen wearing a crimson blue straight jacket, wearing a net scarf and square toe shoes, although he was a Confucian student, he was very healthy.

After taking a closer look, Zheng Jiansheng had a high forehead and a wide nose and a straight mouth, his eyes were blazing and his expression was solemn, and after entering the lecture hall, he pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to Zhu Cihong and made a big salute.

"Zheng Sen, the prisoner of the country, greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
