Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites were lazy, they directly copied the army expansion model on the side of the army, and changed one into two, but this is also the best way for the Tang Dynasty to prepare for a new university.

For today's Tang Dynasty, the biggest problem in promoting new education is not the opposition of scholars, in fact, although the scholars opposed it in the early stage, but now they have died, because the content of the examination in the imperial examination, the content of new disciplines is increasing, and it is extremely difficult for scholars to learn by themselves.

In the past two years, Guozijian's graduates have almost dominated the list, which naturally makes many people dissatisfied, on the one hand, they are scolding Guozijian's students for being shameless, and on the other hand, they want to enter Guozijian, and at the same time, some people have begun to set up their own academies to teach these new disciplines.

Now the Tang Dynasty is promoting government-run schools, which is a good thing for the scholars who are currently studying only to be officials.

In addition, although the problem of funds is also large, it is not insurmountable, because many government-run schools are directly reformed from the county schools and government schools of the Ming Dynasty, and the school buildings are ready-made, and the daily funds required are not too large because the tuition fees are not too large, plus the local counties, governments and other yamen will also give certain financial subsidies.

In these years, the gentry were still more active in running schools and donated more funds.

The biggest problem is the faculty!

The two subjects of Chinese studies and arithmetic are fine, but when middle schools began to teach physics, chemistry and other subjects, teachers were obviously insufficient.

If you can find some teachers for subjects in middle school or even preparatory schools, it is difficult to find teachers at the university level.

Nowadays, in the entire Tang Dynasty, almost all of the science and engineering talents who can teach more advanced content are on the side of the Royal Institute of Technology, and more importantly, the people in it are all self-taught.

The Royal Institute of Technology's academic system is very special, they adopt self-study and self-teaching, and at the same time shoulder the task of scientific research, they take the senior students to teach the junior students, and the senior students, basically can only rely on self-study.

In terms of the modern education level of later generations, even a few senior students in the Royal Institute of Technology who were regarded as treasures by Li Xuan were equivalent to the level of high school students, and most of the students were at most the level of junior high school students.

Of course, even the level of high school students and junior high school students is enough to crush the world in this era.

But these people, their own study, research and development tasks are very heavy, although occasionally there are seventh graders to go to Guozijian to take classes, but for the huge demand, it is still far from enough.

The Ministry of Rites split the country into two, and it was intended to build the new university right next to the Royal Institute of Technology, with the idea of continuing to let the students of the Royal Institute of Technology teach part-time.

Therefore, Li Xuan did not embarrass the officials of the Ministry of Rites too much, and directly approved their plan, and after Guozijian was divided into two, Guozijian was renamed Guozijian University, and the part that was separated was established Jinling City University.

But this is also an inspiration to Li Xuan, it is too difficult to prepare for a comprehensive university, and there is an urgent shortage of teachers, and not only university teachers, but also those preparatory colleges and middle schools are even more lacking teachers, so Li Xuan is ready to prepare a number of specialized teachers' colleges.

Teachers who specialize in training new subjects!

Li Xuan's idea is that these normal schools do not train generalists, only specialists!

It is enough to study only one of the subjects and be generally proficient in it, and be able to teach students according to the textbook.

In this way, it can greatly reduce the learning burden of students, and at the same time shorten the school period, training an ordinary preparatory student, it takes three years in normal time, but to train a normal student, Li Xuan only plans to spend one year!

Two days after conquering Yangzhou, Li Xuan officially issued a holy decree, requiring all provinces to open normal schools to train teachers.

Jinling City, as the foot of the Son of Heaven, is also the city with the best conditions for running schools, so it is naturally the first to respond!

It took almost only three days for Jinling Normal University to be officially established and began to enroll students extensively, and the first batch of enrollment was 300 people!

However, in order to ensure that the trained normal graduates will eventually become teachers, instead of going to participate in the imperial examination again, this time there is also a clear requirement for enrollment, that is, before enrollment, an agreement must be signed, and after one year of graduation, they need to work as teachers in various middle schools and preparatory schools formulated by the Department of Education of the Ministry of Rites for more than a few years.

You need to be a teacher for at least three consecutive years, and the tuition fee is free during the normal school, and after three years as a teacher, you can obtain the qualification to apply for Guozijian University or Jinling University or directly participate in the entrance examination.

You must know that the current Guozijian is not something that everyone can get into, and not everyone can get in, and the current Guozijian of the Tang Dynasty has clear requirements for students who want to apply for the school: they have the fame of the Tang Dynasty, or they have graduated from preparatory schools in various places.

Needless to say, it also needs to be famous.

Of course, the enrollment of Jinling Normal School is naturally not for everyone, and it must have the fame of the Tang Dynasty or graduate from middle school.

The continuous reform of education and the imperial examination system is what Li Xuan has always been doing, and in the foreseeable future, Li Xuan will continue to reform in the next few years.

In a way of boiling frogs in warm water, it completely changed the traditional education and imperial examination system in the land of China.

And the biggest capital to promote this reform is the official position of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you want to be an official of the Tang Dynasty, then you have to obediently study according to the rules set by Li Xuan and participate in the imperial examination.

And the readers, they also deeply feel that the education reform of the Tang Dynasty is gradually deepening, and some people are naturally opposed, but their opposition is not heard by others.

In the Tang Dynasty newspaper, there will be no articles with opposing voices, and the articles on education reform in the Tang Dynasty newspaper are basically praised, and those old scholars say some complaints in private, and outsiders can't hear them anyway, so naturally let them say it.

But after all, these old pedants are still very supportive of their young children going to new schools!

It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, but if you go to school, you can become an official, that's the most important thing.

In the past few days, Li Xuan has been busy with education affairs in the rear, and the army in Jiangbei has not been idle, and Hao Bonian did not stay in Yangzhou for too long after leading the Third Army to capture Yangzhou.

Instead, he continued to go north, along the canal all the way north to Gaoyou, and more than 10,000 Ming troops in Gaoyou fled in despair, and there was no resistance at all, and they fled directly north to Huai'an Mansion.

The Third Army occupied Gaoyou without bloodshed, and then continued to advance towards Huai'an.

At this time, the navy was also resting, and the main fleet began to move north, and they were preparing to seize the mouth of the Yellow River to cover a large number of transport fleets to enter the Yellow River directly from the mouth of the Yellow River.

In order to ensure control over the canal, the Yellow River, and the Huai River valley in order to cooperate with the army's operations, the navy once again increased the size of the canal fleet.

The battle to the north went smoothly, but Anqing and Huguang were still the same.

Although the strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong, it did not have the ability to launch large-scale battles in two directions at the same time, and the war on the Jiangbei side cost the Tang Dynasty a lot of military expenses and various ammunition supplies.

Therefore, after Li Xuan considered it, he postponed the offensive in Anqing, and prepared to wait for the Third Army to take the Huai River and the Yellow River Valley.

The Tang Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack, and the generals of the Ming army such as Yu Dayou and Zhang Yue were naturally relieved, with the ability of the Tang Army to attack in Yangzhou, they were really not sure whether Anqing and Hanyang could hold it.

Now that the puppet Tang thief army is not coming to attack, they are naturally a lot more relieved.

Therefore, the armies of both sides in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River continue to stare at each other across the Yangtze River, and there are only small-scale reconnaissance operations, which have the demeanor of no war on the Western Front.

However, on the Eastern Front, the Ming army continued to suffer heavy defeats!

Many days later, Emperor Zhengde, who was in Beijing, finally received a battle report from the south!

When he saw that Yangzhou was lost and only 20,000 of the 100,000 troops escaped, Emperor Zhengde's aged body couldn't help but tremble, and even the twists and turns were unstable.

Then he drove all the eunuchs and palace maids out of the palace and sat on the huge dragon chair alone!

Half a day later, he called people in, and then made several wills in a row, first of all, to compassionate Chen Linmao who committed suicide and martyrdom, although Zhengde was eager to whip Chen Linmao 10,000 times in his heart, but now it is an eventful season, he needs to stabilize the court, and for this kind of minister who has lost the battle, but has kept his name, he still can't be mean.

If you lose the battle, you will be punished, and I am afraid that Emperor Zhengde will kill all the generals on the front line.

In addition, he was going to send important ministers to the Mongolian steppe to meet Altan Khan to discuss the matter of borrowing troops, as long as he could borrow troops, tea, ironware, titles, etc. would not be a problem.

Of course, you can't do this kind of thing like being close to each other and splitting the soil, compared to some emperors who have no bottom line, Emperor Zhengde's discipline is still there!

If you don't tear the soil, you want to borrow troops if you don't get along, which sounds like a bit of a wild talk, but he believes that Altan Khan is a smart man, and he naturally knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold!

If the puppet Tang thief army destroyed the Ming Dynasty, a fool can guess what the puppet Tang thief army will do next: it must go north to the grassland to fight Altan Khan.

Because since ancient times, almost all the central dynasties that unified China could not bear the threat of the northern grasslands, and when they were strong, they would always try their best to attack and weaken the power of the grasslands.

This was the case during the Zhu Yuanzhang period when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and the same was true during the Zhu Di period, and further back in the Song Dynasty, after recovering its strength a little, it did not forget the Northern Expedition, not to mention the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

Whenever the unified dynasty of China is strong, it will always set off a foreign war!

The Tang Dynasty will not be an exception!

Tatar and pseudo-Tang, that is the enemy of natural opposites, he believes, Altan Khan will not fail to see this!

As long as Altan Khan does not want to encounter the army of guns and cannons of the puppet Tang thief army in the steppe in the future, and finally be driven out to the extreme west like the other ancestors of the steppe, then he must send troops!

Of course, Altan Khan can also choose to be a vassal, kneel down and pray for the pseudo-Tang to give them a way to live, but Zhengde thinks that with Altan Khan's person, he will not choose to give in!
