Zhu Yunwen was accompanied by Wang Du to the room where the martial arts sacrificial wine was held, and the martial arts did not have the sacrificial wine for the time being, and Zhu Yunwen served as the concurrently, so if he came over, he would work in the sacrificial wine room. Along the way, Tie Xuan, Qi De, Huang Zicheng, Qu Neng, He Fu, and Mu Sheng all rushed over to meet Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen returned the salute one by one, and then went to the office of the sacrificial wine, asked everyone to sit down, and then asked people to notify the four captains to come over, Song Xuan and Wu Sheng both arrived, Geng Xuan did not come, Zhu Yunwen was about to ask, Guo Jian came over and said in his ear: "Your Highness, Geng Xuan is the honor guest of the county lord of Jiangdu, and he is about to do a happy event, so he asked for leave and went home." ”

Oh, by the way, Zhu Yunwen patted his head before he remembered that his sister Zhu Yuling was going to get married, and he forgot about it, and he had to prepare a gift, and he had to think about what gift to prepare.

Everyone arrived, Zhu Yunwen sat down, looked at the people around him, and couldn't help but sigh, these people are his basic team, it is not easy to gather these people together, thinking of this, he smiled: "Lone has been doing a lot recently, I just came here today, and I found that everyone is doing very well, and everyone has worked hard." ”

"It's not hard, I'm willing to serve His Highness." The people answered.

"However, Lone is here today to solve the problem, what problems in martial arts need to be solved urgently?"

Huang Zicheng spoke first: "Your Highness, the problem encountered by the minister is that the progress of the literacy class is slow, some students have a poor foundation, and they learn very slowly, and there is also an accent problem, this time the students come from all over the country, and everyone can't understand the dialect in many places, so Wuxue also specially found some local Xiucai to come over to explain to everyone, and now it is better." ”

"There's no good way to get a poor foundation, what are the textbooks you use?"

"Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text"

Oh, Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly, there seems to be no good way to do this, and that's what he can think of.

"This can only be done slowly, the martial arts have just begun to be created in a hurry, everyone must work hard to overcome difficulties, accumulate experience, and make martial arts better and better in the future."

Huang Zicheng also smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the minister understands that he will work hard to overcome difficulties." ”

"What else?"

Zide stood up and said, "Your Highness, because the officers are not very literate, there are also problems in the teaching of the art of war. Generally speaking, the sons and daughters of the nobles are better, and the officers and soldiers of the guard are worse, of course, Xiucai is no problem, but Xiucai is not interested in the art of war. ”

"Specifically, what's the problem?"

"The current textbook mainly uses the "Seven Books of Wujing", which is the military textbook of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the emperor is also printed in large quantities and sent to the generals, but there are not many people who really take the time to learn, and there may be literacy problems. And there are not many people who can understand the lectures of the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts". ”

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and found that he had actually failed to create martial arts, there were no good teachers, no good teaching materials, and he still lacked skills, so he couldn't stay here often.

"By the way, when the appointment was issued at that time, didn't they all require literacy and hyphenation?"

"This list was drawn up by the Governor's Office of the Military Force, and the Ministry of War only assisted, and only found out that it was like this after I came." Zid smiled bitterly.

"Oh, Governor Qu, Governor He, and General Mu, is the level of the students recruited this time relatively poor?"

"No, Your Highness, these students are very good lower-level officers, and the last general has led the army for many years, but there are really not many literate people among the officers, and most of them will ask a master to help." Qu Neng, who was sitting next to Zide, said. Qu Neng is a burly man, a big man, known for his bravery, with a loud voice and a face like red dates, and he is a warm-hearted man at first glance.

"Your Highness, the last general has a similar opinion." He Fu and Mu Sheng also agreed with Qu Neng's views.

"Oh, Lone understands, so who are the instructors who can teach now? How many students can understand? ”

"The last will do." He Fu said.

"The last general can understand it, but he can't say it." Qu Neng blushed a little and said.

"The last general hasn't experienced much war, so I can't talk about it." Mu Sheng also said with a red face.

"Okay, then it's hard work, how many students can understand?"

Qi De thought for a moment: "There are about 300 people, 200 prisoners are no problem, and the rest of the people, including the sons of the nobles and the officers and soldiers of the guard, are only about 100 people." ”

"Then let's focus on training those 300 people first. Then this martial arts study was not in vain. ”

"By the way, how's the staff room?"

Wang Du stood up and said: "Back to Your Highness, at present, anyone who is interested can participate, and the minister is observing and mentioning points on the side, so far, about 10 people are more talented, of which there are three Xiucai, two Xungui's children, and five Wei. ”

"Okay, have you had any troubles?"

"The difficulty is still the same old problem, the map is not accurate enough, and the calculation is more troublesome."

"The map can't be done in a day or two, let's just take a look, and it will get better in the future."

......

Finally, when asked about training, Guo Jian replied: "At present, the training in the queue is relatively normal, the infantry confrontation has just begun, and the progress in firearms is relatively normal. Current training is focused on stamina, queues, and spear phalanxes. ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said: "That's basically okay, when the physical fitness and queue training are almost over, you can consider forming a small-scale combat group, such as five or six people, with spearmen, Pu knife soldiers, shield soldiers and even musketeers. In short, we must pay attention to the fact that military issues must not be ambiguous, they will kill people, everything should be based on reality, and what does not work must be changed. ”

The three generals and the captain bowed down to receive the order.

"Any other questions? By the way, how about the Iron Master's Book? ”

"There's no problem, the discipline of martial arts is getting better and better." Tie Hyun said calmly. Others can't help but slander, with you, the iron-faced king of Hades, who dares to disobey discipline, no one wants to be taken out of the house in the middle of the night, beaten by someone, or directly locked up in a small black room, what is it called confinement, as long as you go in once, you are obediently honest, there are people in the middle who can't stand it, crying and shouting to go out, but no matter how you beg, the iron black face will not be accommodating at all, and over time, everyone will be honest.

.....

In the end, Zhu Yunwen made a summary, praised everyone again, and slapped the problems encountered by everyone on the spot, and then told them that tomorrow morning, they would take a look at the drill and let everyone go back to prepare.

Wang Du didn't leave, because Zhu Yunwen gave him a look, Zhu Yunwen asked four guards to guard the door, and then two people sat down in the side hall.

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while: "Zizhong, can Lone trust you?" ”

Wang Dubai fell to the ground: "Your Highness, thanks to Your Highness's attention, I have been given great power, and I am willing to smear His Highness's liver and brain, and then die." ”

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, helped Wang Du up, asked him to sit down, and said, "Zizhong, do you know what is the most worrying thing about Lone?" ”

"Your Highness, with all due respect, Your Highness is worried about King Yan, or more precisely, about the army in the northern frontier." Wang Du hesitated slightly and said.

"Why do you say that?"

"His Royal Highness hurriedly created martial arts, which shows that His Highness is very concerned about martial affairs, and then shows that His Highness has useful soldiers, looking around, the strongest force is the army in Northern Xinjiang, especially King Yan, who has led troops to fight many times, then it can only be King Yan."

"Yes, Lone is very worried about King Yan, did you receive yesterday's letter?"

"Received, Wechen also analyzed it carefully."

"Tell me about it."

The minister came to two conclusions: first, it may be that His Royal Highness stimulated King Yan, so King Yan began to do it. The second is the emperor's attitude, the subordinates speculated that the emperor didn't want to deal with King Yan, and wanted His Royal Highness to deal with King Yan himself. ”

"Why?"

"If the emperor wants to deal with King Yan, he will not let the Song Commander relay the news of King Yan to His Royal Highness. And with the authority of the emperor, as long as a holy decree can easily clean up King Yan. But what about after that? To whom will the military power of Northern Xinjiang be handed over? ”

Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized, yes, if the military power in Northern Xinjiang belongs to a foreign surname, will he be more worried? That's for sure. But it belongs to King Yan, and there is a problem, because there will be much less resistance to his rebellion, because everyone will think that it is a royal war, as long as the Zhu family is the emperor, it doesn't matter who they are. Doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang know this? He must know, but he still plans to ignore it, which shows that he is raising Gu, and whoever wins at that time will be able to sit firmly in the country. Besides, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already dead, out of sight and out of mind......

Wang Du watched Zhu Yunwen's face become more and more pale, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Your Highness, Your Highness." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yunwen came back to his senses: "You go on, what else?" ”

"Since King Yan has already done this thing, then he will inevitably rebel in the future, and he also knows very well that His Highness also understands this."

"What should I do?"

"In two steps, the matter of espionage and charm will be handed over to Jinyiwei, and in addition, it is necessary to make full arrangements in the military to avoid being caught off guard."

"How is it laid out militarily?"

"Your Highness, this is the most difficult thing to do, if the layout is early, it will cause King Yan's vigilance and strong backlash, if the layout is late, then King Yan is already full-fledged, and the loss will be great."

"So when do you think you'll start the layout? How should it be laid out? ”

"To be precise, it can only be laid out when His Highness inherits the unification, and at that time, His Highness has the name of righteousness, so that it can be foolproof. If the layout is early, and the people sent over are still under the leadership of King Yan, one may throw himself at King Yan, and the other may be beheaded by King Yan for some reason, and the emperor is likely to be killed. ”

"Isn't that a little late?"

"It's a bit late, but it's not worth the risk, Your Highness has only a limited number of people at hand, and it would be a pity if you lost it."

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment and said: "Gu wants to grasp four points: Juyong Pass, Daning and Guangning, and Gu plans to ask the emperor to establish a guard in Zhigu. ”

Wang Du stood up, looked at the map for a while, and said overjoyed: "Your Highness is really a British gift, this is indeed the best way, hold Juyong Pass, and establish a guard in Zhigu, then King Yan's army can only be cramped around Beiping and dare not go south." But the people in these two places must be absolutely reliable and accustomed to war. In addition, Daning and Guangning, there are King Ning and King Liao, and the people sent may not be of much use. ”

"Well, if King Yan rebels, King Ning and King Liao are likely to stand still or join the rebels. That's not good. Zhu Yunwen sighed.

"Yes, His Highness's idea is very good, Zizhong will deduce it according to this idea, and when he has a conclusion, he will present it to His Highness."

"Very good, Zizhong, Lonely, please please."
