Chapter 17: Chung Yeung Festival – Propose a military academy
Next, it's September 9, Chung Yeung Festival. www.biquge.info The Double Ninth Festival is an important festival in ancient China, and the Chinese New Year, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Winter Solstice, etc., is also a festival for family reunion. As Lao Zhu, who cares for his children and grandchildren very much, of course, it is impossible not to miss the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, the morning is early, everyone knows that Lao Zhu is going to celebrate the festival today, and he is also going to celebrate the festival! Therefore, under the influence of both monarchs and ministers, the early dynasty soon ended. Lao Zhu didn't deal with the excerpts, and came to the highest place in an attic in the imperial garden in the northwest corner of the palace.
When Lao Zhu arrived, Yun Xi and the others had already arrived, and yesterday Yun Wei and Yun Xi said hello to the ministry and didn't go today. Today's family reunion, in addition to Zhu Biao's sons and daughters, the sons who have not yet been sealed, as well as Qin Shizi Shang Bing, Jin Shizi Jixi, Yan Shizi Gao Chi and so on. When they saw Lao Zhu coming, they saluted one after another. Lao Zhu greeted the tip of the iceberg with his huge team of children and grandchildren kindly and asked them to sit down.
This old Zhu family's holiday, in addition to more people and better food, is no different from ordinary people's families, they all wish a happy holiday first, then eat rice cakes, and then divide it into parts and laughs, chat nonsense, braggadocio and fart.
Because after all, they are the most highest-status people in the whole country, and the princes of Qin and Jin have also come out to do things, so the content of small talk inevitably involves politics or something. No, here Lao Zhu is asking Yun Xi what he has learned in class these days, and Shang Bing and Gao Xu over there have talked about the war. Gao Xu is only twelve years old this year, but he is powerful and powerful, like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown child, and he usually likes to be with officers, and Yun Xi has seen him more than once in the school yard in the past twenty days; Shang Bing is 16 years old this year, and last year he also participated in the campaign to suppress the rebellion of the Tibetans in QH, and he is also good at practicing martial arts. Gao Xu said: "In the past few days, I have watched the military generals test of the attacking officers on the school field in the north of the city, and our current military generals in the Ming Dynasty are all of the second generation, but even the officials of the inland guard are all superb in martial arts, which is similar to the military generals I saw in Beiping. As he spoke, he patted Yun Xi, who was thinking about a question next to him, "Third brother, am I right?" ”
Yun Xi was thinking about something, Leng Buding was startled by the pat, looked back at Gao Xu, and said, "Gao Xu, what are you talking about?" Gao Xu repeated the words again. Yun Xi said: "Gao Xu is right, the military attaches of the Ming Dynasty are all superb in martial arts, whether they are from the mainland or at the border gates. Gao Xu immediately happily said to Shang Bing: "Look, what I said is right. ”
Yun Xi said again: "It's just that the test of passing or failing should not only test these martial arts." ”
After Yun Xi finished speaking, he saw Shang Bing nodding slightly, and Gao Xu asked, "Then what else is the test?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Thousands of households, hundreds of households can be proficient in martial arts, but there are more than 10,000 soldiers commanded by officers and above, and their military strategy should be tested, after all, no matter how skilled a person is, he can't beat thousands of troops." ”
Gao Xu said: "Of course, what the third brother said is reasonable, but how can we effectively assess their ability to fight with soldiers? ”
Gao Xu's voice was a little loud, and everyone looked at them. Lao Zhu had already finished asking Yun Xi, Yun Xi had spoken, and when he heard Gao Xu's voice, he asked, "Gao Xu, what are you talking about?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor's grandfather, my grandson is discussing with Brother Yunxi and Brother Shang Bing whether to add something to my Ming officer test. ”
Lao Zhu's face was puzzled, and Yun Xi hurriedly said, "Grandpa Huang, it's like this." Sun Er has been in charge of evaluating the generals in the military department these days. Regardless of the official position of the general, all of them will be assessed on their martial arts, Sun Er thinks that thousands of households, hundreds of households can be proficient in martial arts, but there are many officers who command soldiers and above, and they should be tested for military strategy, so Brother Sun Er and Brother Shang Bing talked about it. Then Gao Xu added.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What you said has some truth, but as Gao Xu said, how can we effectively assess their ability to use soldiers?" ”
Yun Xi said: "Sun Er has an immature opinion. The grandson didn't know what to do at first, but a few days ago, he saw Mr. Xu Zongshi, the priest of the country, and suddenly had an idea. ”
Yes, what Yun Xi wants to mention is the military school. Western countries have developed a military academy system in modern times from the university system, although Yun Xi does not know whether the military academy system will definitely play a good role in the hot and cold mixing stage, but it is better than the current assessment system.
Shang Bing didn't expect him to propose this, and said: "How can a military general be like this, if all the generals in the world are one-person disciples, then the consequences will ......"
Shang Bing didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant. Many people expressed their approval. But some people can't help but understand this truth, and see what he says next.
Yun Xi continued: "Brother Shang Bing's words make sense, but it is okay not to let him be taught by one person." Sun Er's idea is to divide the two subjects of water and land, and then divide a number of different courses in each subject, such as the Army Department to set up the Art of War course, the War History course, the reconnaissance course, the Chinese language course, etc., with different people serving as Mr., and of course, the martial arts class. ”
Everyone was stunned again. The prince, who had participated in the discussion in July, instantly thought of that discussion, and someone asked the same question, and also came up with an idea that everyone had never thought of. Is history repeating itself again? If it is repeated, then Yunxi must have the benefit of supplementing other aspects in the future.
Sure enough, Yun Xi continued: "In addition to improving the quality of officers, we can also strengthen their observance of discipline and law, loyalty and patriotism through the establishment of political education courses and military discipline and law courses." Last month, because of the lawlessness of the Marquis of Jiangxia, His Majesty had to deal with Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, if the Marquis of Jiangxia abides by the law, then it will not force His Majesty to spoil the feelings of the monarch and ministers (in fact, it is an excuse that Lao Zhu deliberately made to kill Zhou Dexing, but Yunxi can only say so). Jiang Xiahou is still like this in the capital, and the generals in various places may have more serious violations of discipline and need more education. ”
"In addition, the officers from all over the country have been in the place for a long time, these two generations are fine, and when they are in peace for a long time, I am afraid that they will forget the kindness of my Zhu family to reward them. If everyone receives the education of loyalty to the emperor in the capital before taking office, and often admires Tianyan (that is, seeing the emperor), it is conducive to promoting them to sprout the heart of loyalty and patriotism. ”
Forgive me for my lack of words, but the truth is that once again everyone here was dumbfounded. But this time it's okay, because there was martial arts in the Song Dynasty, and it was taught by retired martial artists. Because Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the establishment of martial arts was a two-way way to divide civil and military affairs, and opposed the establishment of martial arts, it was not established (corresponding to Lao Zhu's request for Guozijian's students to be both civil and military). But here Yunxi put forward a new idea, not to select generals, but to train the descendants of existing generals who will take up their posts. The descendants of these military generals who are destined to succeed in their posts will not be able to become civil officials anyway, and it is not that they do not teach them literary things.
In fact, Yun Xi just advanced what would happen in the future this time (the establishment of martial arts when Jianwen was established, which was originally intended to select excellent military generals, but it evolved into a training course for in-service officers), and then added a little bit of what the military academy taught in later generations, strictly speaking, this is not the same thing as the military academy in later generations. But what moved everyone present the most were the last two points he said. Although the latter two points were only brought over by Yun Xi the officers' study classes that were often organized in later generations to 'study the advanced thinking of the central authorities and comprehend the spirit of the central leadership' and the frequent inspection of the army by the No. 1 leader of Tianzi, at present, there is absolutely no study class for officers organized by the emperor to 'study the advanced thinking of the central organization and comprehend the spirit of the central leadership,' and no one else dares to do so, so he immediately calmed down the people present.
Lao Zhu was moved by the last two points. Lao Zhu also considered how to ensure the army's loyalty to the Zhu family in the future. He learned the lessons of the Song Dynasty and did not implement the use of literature and martial arts, but tried to cultivate students who were familiar with the Confucian classics and loyal to the monarch and patriotic Guozijian as talents with both civil and military skills. However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think he would fail at this time, but he also felt that Yun Xi's method was very good, he understood that even if Guozijian could cultivate excellent talents with both civil and military skills, the number would not be large, and it would take a long time to replace the hereditary generals, and the method proposed by Yun Xi would work quickly. He also thought of what Yun Xi didn't mention, so that all the young military attachés who were serving or about to take up their posts would study in the capital, and it would also be convenient for them to change regions.
So Lao Zhu opened his mouth and said: "Yunxi's method is good, you can write it out in detail when you go back, and you will consult with the people of the military department in detail, and prepare a statement for me." Yun Xi replied, "Yes." ”
All the people who have participated in the discussion of the July 19th Shrine Hall are very confused, Yun Xi has come up with another feasible method, and it is more feasible than the previous one, this is against God! Some people can't help but look at Yun Wen, they used to think that Yun Wei was stronger than Yun Xi, but now they feel that Yun Wei is not good! I heard that Yunxi goes back every night and stays up all night reading, this is the rhythm of 'Shibei three days should be impressive'?
In addition to them, Gao Xu was also very confused. Gao Xu originally talked to Yun Xi today just because he wanted to have a relationship with Yun Xi Lala. Although Gao Xu is young, how can the royal family not be shrewd? Gao Xu knew about Yun Xi's views in the Jinshen Hall in July, and knew that he wanted to divide the seal. Gao Xu, as the second son of King Yan, is no fun to divide the feuds, but it is good to always fight, maybe the emperor will find him when he wants to find a model of excellent princes to commend him? So he supports Yun Xi and wants to have a relationship with Yun Xila. But he didn't expect this relationship to pull out such a large paragraph of Yun Xi's words, so it was inevitable.
