Chapter 107 Military Academies
On the second day of the meeting, the first was to reward the meritorious officials of the counterinsurgency. Like the eldest grandson Wuji and Yu Chigong, they each received goldfish bags and rewarded a bunch of gold, silver and jade silks, even if the two of them worked hard to give birth to a bunch of sons, I am afraid that they will not be able to eat them until they die.
However, after the reward was completed, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yunwen did not receive the reward.
When the eldest grandson Wuji asked, Li Shimin pointed at Zhang Yunwen: "You ask him to go!" β
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was as smart as Xu, suddenly knew what Zhang Yunwen was doing, and immediately returned to his original position and remained silent.
Then the punishment of Luo Yi's father and son was announced. What is also surprising is that Li Shimin did not kill these people, but said that the king of Yanjun defended the north, sat in Youzhou for decades, worked hard, and tried to rebel for a while, but others instigated him, so he was demoted to a Ying official and exiled to Longyou.
At this time, the land of Longyou was often harassed by the Turks and Tuyuhun, and it can be said that today it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and tomorrow it will be occupied by those two tribes. I don't know if Li Shimin has a heart, then Luo Yi's family are all military generals, and it is very easy to get ahead in this kind of war-torn place, maybe a few years later, he will be a general again.
So, some old masters were there again loudly praising His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness.
Then, Li Shimin's three decrees caused panic among some civilian officials.
First, the General Staff was established. When Li Shimin fully described his duties and functions, most of the military attachΓ©s here praised in unison, and of course, some military generals were full of dissatisfaction with this. The establishment of staff officers undoubtedly increased the control of the imperial court over local generals.
And those civil officials were worried that the strength of the military general system would swell, and it would be difficult to restrain it in the future, so they all opposed it. Of course, these civil officials were those who were left after the three provincial servants shot the Shuling and the Six Shangshu. Under the collective suppression of several bigwigs, the General Staff was formed amid the opposition of those people.
Then there is the question of the attribution of the investigative institute. Li Shimin brought it up again, but the result was much more satisfying. The household department and the military department each got a piece. Moreover, Li Shimin also personally named the investigation institute of the household department as the Statistics Bureau, and the military department as the Intelligence Bureau, while the part of the investigation institute he raised himself was still called the investigation institute.
As soon as the last issue of the military academy was raised, there were endless voices of opposition. The civilian officials, who were already worried about the establishment of the General Staff Yuan, were afraid that after these reckless men mastered the literacy of the Chinese language, their intelligence would improve by leaps and bounds, and with the military power in their hands, they might be completely suppressed.
Li Shimin waved his sleeves: "Wait for Hugh to say again, I have made up my mind, and this time I want to make a decision on the part of the cadres!" After speaking, the arrangement was resigned. first appointed himself as the dean of the college, and then sent Qu Tutong, Li Jing, Li Ji, Wei Chigong and others to the academy for temporary posts, and finally appointed: "Let Zhang Yunwen be responsible for the preliminary preparations of the college!" All ministries must cooperate! β
Suddenly, the eyes of those officials were focused on Zhang Yunwen.
Zhang Yunwen was unconscious, calmly stepped out of the ranks, and thanked Li Shimin.
After the court meeting was dispersed, Zhang Yunwen was just about to leave, but he heard someone next to him whispering: "Yunwen go slowly!" "Listening to that voice, it's Fang Xuanling's.
Zhang Yunwen suddenly stopped. At this time, several subordinate officials of the Qin Palace's mansion slowly approached each other, and Fang Xuanling said, "Let's go, Yunwen, let's go together!" β
So, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others slowly walked out of the Linde Hall with Zhang Yunwen.
"Yunwen, did you make this suggestion from the Military Academy?" That Fang Xuanling asked.
Zhang Yunwen nodded.
That Fang Xuanling said: "Yunwen's proposal is not bad!" Thinking of my Tang Dynasty, the enemy chieftains are surrounded by all sides, there are Turks in the north, Tuyuhun in the west, Goryeo in the east of Tubo occupies my Liaodong, and it is necessary to invigorate the martial arts. Now that Your Majesty has entrusted you with the affairs of the Military Academy, you must not let Your Majesty down! If you need help, just say it! β
Zhang Yunwen clenched his fists and said to Fang Xuanling: "Thank you Fang Xiang!" β
Na Du Ruhui also said: "The matter of the military academy is beneficial to the country and the people, which can not only prevent the family from infiltrating the army, but also select the best among the common people and reuse them." We are all civil servants, but we know that although the world is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the war. I hope Yunwen can withstand the pressure, face the difficulties, and do this well! β
The corners of Zhang Yunwen's eyes jumped suddenly, why are these words so familiar?
And the eldest grandson Wuji just glanced at Zhang Yunwen a few times and didn't speak.
Out of the East Palace, several people walked in different directions.
Zhang Yunwen returned to the mansion and sat in front of a few cases, on which a piece of white rice paper was placed. On the rice paper, there are a few ink marks.
Closing his eyes, he recalled the system settings and core concepts of a number of military academies such as the Whampoa Military Academy, Kang Da, Frunze Military Academy, and West Point Military Academy in later generations.
It was not until the morning of the second day that Zhang Yunwen sketched out the entire relevant regulations of the Military Academy, from various considerations in terms of site selection, to the setting of departments within the academy, and finally, he drew a simple floor plan on paper.
It's finally done! He stretched out a long stretch and fell on the couch, and in a short time he let out a faint snoring.
At noon, Zhang Yunwen woke up, put away the manuscripts on a few cases, hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of food, and came to the palace again.
Li Shimin took the charter and read it roughly, put it on a few cases and said to Zhang Yunwen: "I have decided to select and recruit soldiers in various prefectures, and I have made an order at today's court meeting, I think there will be results in a month, and these recruits will be the first batch of students of your academy, and you will have to give me results at that time!" β
"As for the location of the site, I have already thought of a place, there is a place on the south bank of Weishui, which was originally a royal hunting ground, so I will build a military academy for you. There are flat land, gentle slopes, woods, and mountain peaks, which can be used for you to practice in actual combat! β
Zhang Yunwen was immediately overjoyed, and said to Li Shimin: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" β
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Zhang Yunwen to go out: "On the issue of building a house, go to the officials of the Ministry of Industry yourself!" I'm going to take a good look at your charter! β
Zhang Yunwen had just exited to the door, and Li Shimin suddenly shouted: "Yunwen, how many days have you not seen Runan, miss her!" Go by yourself, no one will dare to stop you! β
Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen suddenly rolled his eyes, it sounded as if I had something with him, but in fact there was nothing!
However, Zhang Yunwen still obediently walked to the depths of the palace.
The small courtyard, which is separated by a wall, is full of flowers. Although it was February, the weather was still cold, and the flower was left with a lone branch and a few leaves.
Li Yuzheng carefully watered each flower, and then sat on a small stone bench, holding his chin with both hands, and quietly looked at these flowers planted in pots, as if the next moment, the flowers would bloom.
When Zhang Yunwen came to the gate of the small courtyard, he saw this scene. As if he had been touched to the softest place in his heart, he looked at Li Yu in a palace costume like this, staring at him.
It wasn't until Rui'er broke the silence that Zhang Yunwen came back to his senses, looked at a mud mark on Li Yu's face, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped it.
