Chapter 617: A Sense of Honor
Yun Xi sat down on Kim Chun's seat on weekdays, stretched his legs, and asked about the status of the martial arts hall recently.
"......, Your Majesty, the students of the Martial Arts Hall have been very well-behaved recently, and there is nothing to violate discipline." Jin Chun replied.
For some reason, Yun Xi was a little disappointed when he heard this. If a student violates discipline seriously, he will be very angry. But honestly, he wasn't happy either.
"Xu Jingchang, is he also very well-behaved?" Yun Xi mentioned one person. Xu Jingchang Jianye returned to the capital from Nanyang at the end of the first year, and the second year he had nothing to do in the capital for a year.
Jin Chun took a deep breath. He was afraid that His Majesty would mention Xu Jingchang, but he was obviously afraid of something.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jingchang does have some naughty things, but they are just trivial things, and they are not a violation of discipline." Jin Chun said.
"What's the trifle?" Yun Xi asked.
"Your Majesty, I just don't listen to the lectures in class, and the homework for some courses is not written in time." Jin Chun replied.
"But he did really well in some of the classes. The teacher who taught the martial arts class was full of praise for him, saying that people who have been on the battlefield are different, and the momentum on his body makes the students who have never fought weaker by three points, and they have never lost in the classroom training. Jin Chun continued.
"Maybe it's because of his identity." Yun Xi smiled.
Jin Chun didn't answer, and he didn't expect Jin Chun to answer, and then said: "Whether it's Xu Jingchang or other high-status students who are enrolled this year, you can't give them any preferential treatment. ”
"Are there any outstanding second-year students now?" Yun Xi asked again.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, Zhao Yuzhe, the first place in last year's year-end exam, is acceptable." Jin Chundao.
"Naturally, I noticed him, but it was still far from the previous ones. Nothing else standout? Yun Xi asked.
Jin Chun pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"This year's is a bit of a green and yellow one. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Yu Zhouwen and Zheng Xuan, who graduated last year, how did they perform in the lecture hall? Yun Xi said.
"The two of them did a great job. His Majesty is worthy of being a discerning person, and at the end of last year, after they graduated, they directly let them serve in the lecture hall. Yu Zhouwen is very suitable to succeed him as the vice principal of the lecture hall after the minister or in a few years. On the contrary, Zheng Xuan is lazy, although he can speak well, but he is not suitable for serving as a secretary. Chen felt like a storyteller. Jin Chun couldn't help but smile.
"In that case, you will serve as the vice principal of the Lecture Hall for another year, and let Yu Zhouwen take over next year. As for Zheng Xuan, at the end of the year, I transferred him to his side as a general. Yun Xi thought for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty!" Kim Chun wanted to advise.
"I know that Yu Zhouwen will only be nineteen years old this year and twenty years old next year, and he is a military general, and both you and Jingqing are civil officials. But so what? Yun Xi showed a slightly mocking look on his face: "The martial arts hall was established by me, and the rules were also set by me, so I can naturally change it." Since he was very suitable to serve as the vice principal of the Lecture Hall, why not let him serve a few years in advance. ”
"Of course, it will be impossible for Yu Zhouwen to go out to lead troops to fight in the future, and he will always hold official positions in the various yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Or, go to a vassal kingdom and serve as the king's minister. ”
"Since Your Majesty has decided, go and tell him?" Jin Chun regained his composure and said.
"No, neither of them has to tell them, I'll tell them both at the end of the year." Yun Xi said. Jin Chun agreed.
Yun Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, lowered his head again, as if he had followed his train of thought, and talked about the third purpose of coming to the martial arts hall today.
"I want you to add a course in the lecture hall, it doesn't matter what the name is, the purpose is to cultivate the sense of honor of the general."
"The primary responsibility of the Ming National Defense Force is to help the Ming government and the people to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. They are like chivalrous warriors who protect the people from barbarians, rather than bullying them. ”
Yoon-hee's purpose was to first cultivate a sense of honor in the military. It is not only to promote the development of society, but also to consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
According to the experience of various countries in ancient and modern times, an army with a sense of honor is stronger in combat than an army without a sense of honor, and it lasts longer in the face of the most difficult environment.
At the same time, Yun Xi planned to gradually divide the army into the national defense force and the garrison army, similar to the difference between the People's Liberation Army and the armed police, and the national defense force specialized in foreign wars, including suppressing rebellions of other ethnic groups; The garrison suppressed the rebellion of the people in the country and eliminated bandits and bullies.
Of course, the sense of honor does not come out of education alone, but also requires that the soldier has a higher social status and is paid enough. It's like why the soldiers of the old six towns of the modern Beiyang Army have a high sense of honor? On the one hand, education is effective, and on the other hand, the salary is sufficient.
Yunxi has also formulated other supporting measures, which will also be implemented in various steps.
"Your Majesty, this year's courses have been decided, and it may not be easy to temporarily increase the courses."
And what exactly is this course about? Just empty lectures to students all day long? Jin Chun said. He knew that Yun Xi was not a person who shy away from medical treatment, so he dared to speak like this. If you are facing some emperors, I am afraid that if you talk like this, you will be in danger of losing your head.
Yun Xi naturally didn't care, thought about it, and found that what could be said about this matter at present, and what they could listen to was the military merit system in the early Qin and early Han dynasties, and the expulsion of the Tartars by their ancestors to restore China, and the content could not support a course.
"What do you suggest?" Yoon-hee asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to add these contents to the history class, and not to open a separate course. Anyway, history lessons are meant to be, so it doesn't hurt to add some content. Jin Chun said.
Although he said it clearly, Yun Xi understood. He felt that there was some truth in what Jin Chun said, and said, "Since this is the case, let's do it according to your words." I wrote the textbook myself. ”
And over the years, have the teachers' textbooks never changed? This is not going to work, you must keep up with the times. Not to mention the rest, the water battle against Majapahit the year before last, and the land battle in Srivijabya, there were some well-fought battles, which can be compiled into the textbook. ”
Yun Xi said a lot more, and Jin Chun promised one by one. After Yun Xi finished telling everything he wanted to order, he stood up and finally said, "You must conscientiously carry out what I have commanded, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Chun replied. But after that, as if he had endured it for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it, and asked: "Your Majesty, let the students of the martial arts hall practice this walking in unison and walking in steps, can you really let the people feel the appearance of the new army?" ”
"You'll know when you see it in a few days." Yun Xi smiled.
