At the beginning of September, Chen Yue, the king of Qi, asked the military academy to recruit students from all over the country, and once admitted, he was given a seven-rank martial arts position, and immediately after graduating in two years, he was added to the army and served as a middle and low-level officer.

"The development of the Ming military system to this day, the guard has been unable to provide suitable talents for the army, nepotism, soldiers for the general, the Ming army's combat effectiveness is getting worse and worse. The fact that officers in the army have not undergone systematic study of military qualities has also led to the fact that the officers' abilities are uneven, and there are those who are brave and good at fighting, but more of them only rely on the spirit of blood and bravery. Those who follow will move forward, and those who will go against will collapse for thousands of miles.

Establish an armed forces academy, with those who are familiar with tactics in the army as instructors and instructors, teach officers tactical combat skills, teach military strategy, and let them know why they are fighting and for whom? Cultivate more officers who have the ability to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty......"

Qi King Chen Yue's recital was handed over to the cabinet, and after the bigwigs took turns to read it, they had their own thoughts.

"The policy of the king of Qi is beneficial to the country and the people, if it can be implemented, the officers will be loyal to the imperial court from the military academy, and the officers who have experienced systematic learning, the military quality will naturally greatly exceed others, it will not be long before a large number of outstanding officers will be cultivated for my Ming Dynasty, and the country will be strong when the army is strong, so it is not far from my Ming Dynasty!" Pavilion elder Wang Yin took the lead in saying.

Gao Hongtu shook his head and objected, "Although this cabinet does not know soldiers, it also knows that the army fights for the brave morale of the soldiers and the ability of the commander to command the army. Qiu Ba in the army still has to study, which is really unheard of! ”

Lu Zhenfei coughed: "Gao Ge Lao, since you don't know about soldiers, don't say more!" Doesn't the King of Qi know how to fight better than you? Naturally, he had a reason for making this suggestion. Fighting a war in the army has never been so simple, and the courage and morale need a foundation, and whether the food, equipment, armor, and whether they are well-trained or not are all important factors in determining morale.

The commander can decide how and when a battle will be fought, but the soldiers still have to do the specific battle, and the ability of the officer plays a decisive factor! ”

Gao Hongtu knew that he couldn't argue with Lu Zhenfei if he talked about military strategy, so he changed the topic: "Don't you need silver to open a military academy?" According to King Qi's recital, anyone who is admitted to the Martial Arts Academy will be responsible for all expenses in the future, weapons, armor, food, as well as monthly salaries, and coaches' salaries, which are all huge expenses. Where did the court get all this silver? ”

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about this, King Qi has his own decision!" Wang Yin sneered.

"You ......" Gao Hongtu was about to get angry when he pointed at Wang Yin, but was stopped by Shi Kefa waving his hand.

"Elder Qian Ge, what do you think about this matter?" Shi Kefa smiled and said to Qian Qianyi.

Since re-entering the cabinet, Qian Qianyi has behaved very honestly, except for the one he is responsible for, he will not open his mouth if he can, and he has no sense of existence as a second assistant.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Qian Qianyi had to speak, "The old man thinks that King Qi's proposal is very reasonable, opening a military academy, if it can be successful, will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers.

The old man thought that the king of Qi was the governor of the capital, in charge of the national army, and there were famous generals who won all battles, so his thoughts naturally had his reason, since we did not understand the military, we should trust the king of Qi. ”

Shi Kefa glanced at Qian Qianyi deeply and nodded.

Of the five members of the cabinet, three of them were inclined to pass the performance of King Qi, and although Gao Hongtu was against it, he was helpless. And Shoufu Shi Kefa wanted to oppose it very much, but he couldn't say a reason for it, so he could only sigh and pass.

Wang Yinlu Zhenfei left Shi Kefa's duty room with a smile, and when Qian Qianyi was about to leave, he was grabbed by Gao Hongtu, waved his hand to order all the subordinates in the duty room to go out, and then closed the door.

"Qian Muzhai, what do you mean? It's hard to understand that you can't see Chen Yue's intentions? If the Wubei Academy is established, it will inevitably be manipulated in the hands of Chen Yue, and the position of dean must be Chen Yue! In the future, the officers of the Ming Dynasty all came out of the military academy, and all the officers were Chen Yue's students, and their power in the army was unmatched for a while, which was the luck of the society! ”

Qian Qianyi tilted his head back hard, avoiding the saliva gushing out of Gao Hongtu's speech, and said with a wry smile, "How can I not know this situation." But that's all for the future, and the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty at the moment is to exterminate the thieves and drive away the Manchurians. These things are inseparable from King Qi, even if there is no military academy, can we still stop King Qi's power in the army?

Now that the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, there can be no more disputes within the court, and there should be harmony between the civil and military forces. ”

Saying that, Qian Qianyi looked at Shi Kefa, "Yuan Fu, we and King Qi have been very unhappy about the matter of the governor of Jiangxi last time, and last time King Qi took a step back, and didn't say anything to the rebuttal, we can't get an inch!" ”

"Last time, I also said last time," without waiting for Shi Kefa to speak, Gao Hongtu said angrily, "In the matter, they refuted the performance of Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, but King Qi, don't you know what he dared to Qian Ge Lao?" In the past two months, Jiangxi has raided the fields of the gentry, raiding the house and going to prison every day, and the gentry in Jiangxi are mourning all over the country, if there is no instruction from the king of Qi, Yan Yingyuan, will he dare to do this? ”

"Stop talking!" Shi Kefa stopped angrily, "This time, let's talk about this time, don't talk about it anywhere else!" ”

Shi Kefa's affairs in Jiangxi naturally knew that what Gao Hongtu said was not bad, but what Gao Hongtu didn't say was that Yan Yingyuan's raids on the gentry's land were all law-based and reasonable, and even Shi Kefa, the first assistant, couldn't say anything.

Now almost all the gentry have far more than the number of tax-free fields that should be paid, so many fields do not pay taxes, and only ordinary people can bear the due amount of taxes, which is tantamount to naked robbery from the small people, which is tantamount to taking advantage of the state. You can't talk about this kind of thing on the table!

The current worries of the Ming Dynasty are in everyone's eyes, and the land annexation from the gentry is the biggest one, but everyone, including Shi Kefa, the first assistant, has nothing to do, because it is impossible to use the knife against himself. Only someone like Chen Yue dared to do this, which made Shi Kefa faintly relieved in his heart. If all the gentry of the Ming Dynasty spit out the illegally accepted fields, why would the Ming court be so poor, and why would the small people be forced to rebel?

"Humph!" Gao Hongtu slammed the door angrily and left.

"Brother Mu Zhai, don't blame, Gao Ge Lao has such a temper." Shi Kefa explained with a wry smile.

Qian Qianyi shook his head, and also said goodbye to Shi Kefa and left the first assistant duty room.
