"Good news...... Sichuan Victory...... Sichuan Dajie ...... "Nanjing City, the sky is not yet bright, it is dark, a team of ten people galloped to the front of the Dinghuai Gate, there have already been soldiers guarding the city to the city, opened the city gate, checked the soldier seal letter, confirmed that it is correct, and immediately released.
"Victorious, the Manchus were defeated by us... The generals are invincible, and we are victorious again..."The defenders of the city were also very excited, as if they had a share of the merit in this battle.
The day is not yet dawn, but there are still people in the cabinet, it is Yuan Jixian who is on duty, when he receives this good news, he is also very excited, everyone in the DPRK and China is looking forward to the heart of this victory, they are obvious to all, every day they mobilize grain and grass military funds for the previous money, that is also busy and anxious, today it is Mianzhou lost, Deyang is dangerous, tomorrow is Hanzhou is besieged, which makes them all worried, Sichuan is lost, the southwest is not guaranteed, now it is finally good, win, Yuan Jixian is also excited.
"Heaven forbid! Da Ming has won! Yuan Jixian's old cheeks were still a little tired, but they were swept away at the moment, but he was not in a hurry to report the good news, there was still more than an hour before the Inner Dynasty meeting, and the rest of the ministers were afraid that they might not have woken up yet.
Originally, he didn't want to publicize it, but Li Yan persuaded him that he had to do it, otherwise it would not be possible to show Cao Bianjiao's mighty life, and it was also a hope and a firm belief to the people of the world.
The good news quickly spread in Nanjing, and slowly spread to all parts of the world with the situation of Di Bao, the world was boiling, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was hit hard after Nanjing, Kong Youde, Zu Zerun, these old traitors are ambushed, it can be described as a great pleasure, Cao Bianjiao's prestige quickly stabilized in the hearts of the world's subjects, although Cao Bianjiao saved the crisis in the battle of Nanjing, but there are still some people who are not convinced, for the Taiwan campaign, there are also some people who do not pay attention to it, after all, it is just a small island, many people have not heard of it, but this battle of Sichuan, In the face of another attack by the Qing army, Cao Bianjiao won again, and this time everyone had nothing to say.
"I only have two thoughts, say it, you can discuss it! In this battle, I lost a lot of generals in the Ming Dynasty, although it was a victory, it was also a tragic victory, so I am ready to run a military academy, train military attachés, and serve the country, since ancient times, there are countless academies, but where the art of war is taught, there is no one, all the military generals, are self-study, let me feel regretful, if I have a military academy in the Ming Dynasty, train the military attache who is dedicated to my Ming Dynasty, why worry about the military preparation? ”
Cao Bianjiao stopped, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and waited for their response. On the day he returned to Nanjing, Cao Bianjiao convened the principal officials of the six ministries of the cabinet to discuss the matter, and he wanted to run a military academy.
Everyone is you look at me, I look at you, they don't know how to answer, they don't know how to answer the establishment of a military academy, they can't say, this is an unprecedented thing, and I don't know how to say it, the Ming Dynasty has a military test election, and the imperial examination, the Ming Dynasty's generals are mostly hereditary, or they are selected in the martial arts, and there is no old practice of training military generals.
"What's wrong, why don't you speak?" Cao Bianjiao looked at them and asked.
Zhang Shenyan, the second auxiliary minister, stood up and replied: "General, the matter of the military academy is unheard of by the ministers, and I don't know where to start, but according to what the general said, it is okay to train the generals of the army by yourself." "Now Cao Bianjiao's reputation can be said to be in full swing, on the one hand, they don't want to have conflicts with Cao Bianjiao, but at the same time, there is no need for this, what Cao Bianjiao proposed is not a deviant thing, they are all acceptable.
"Then I'll tell you about the military academy, what I mean is that those who are willing to enter the military academy in the country can sign up, set up two assessments, one in each province, and after arriving at the military academy, they will be assessed again with their practical actions, for a period of two years, in the military academy, teach them the art of war, the concept of loyalty and patriotism, and then arrange them to serve as low-level officers, and then be promoted after passing the test after the actual battle, and abolish the hereditary system of generals, what do you think?"
"The general's move is a grand event for the ages, and the lower officials think it is feasible!" Zeng Ying also stood up at the moment and actively agreed with Cao Bianjiao's proposal, he was Cao Bianjiao's person, and he should be the first to look forward to Cao Bianjiao.
Zeng Ying, no matter what the purpose is, whether she really agrees, or simply supports Cao Bianjiao, it is a good thing for Cao Bianjiao, as soon as Zeng Ying opened her mouth, Wan Yuanji, Xiong Rulin and others also agreed.
"The old man still has a question, there are criteria for this selection, and please show it to the general!" Zhang Shenyan continued to ask.
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and replied: "There is no standard, whether it is a prince or a general, or a cloth cloth, as long as I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I am eligible to participate, but there are still restrictions on the selection, and I don't have to say anything about the others, it is all a strategy after the implementation, and I will submit it to the cabinet for the record when the time comes." ”
"The old man has no objections, it is up to the general to decide!" Zhang Shenyan was in favor of it at the moment.
Cao Bianjiao wants to control the military power in his own hands, they can understand this mood, the military academy is Cao Bianjiao's means, whether they oppose it or not, Cao Bianjiao will implement it, they can't stop it, instead of going against Cao Bianjiao, it is better to go with it, no one can grasp Cao Bianjiao's thoughts, whether this matter is good or bad, they don't dare to say more.
"The military academy is presided over by me personally, and I have already thought of the manpower of the assistants, the cabinet sent a message, summoned the former governor of Beijing, Zheng Zhilong, the former governor of Jiliao, Wang Yongji, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Cao Xuejiao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to preside over the affairs of the military academy, as the instructors of the military academy, Wang Yingxiong and Wang Yongji, who are in charge of the affairs of the army officer school, Zheng Zhilong and Cao Xuegan are in charge of the affairs of the naval officer school, and the affairs of the military academy are handled by me personally, and the cabinet only needs to distribute official documents to the state capitals of the country, urging them to inform the people of the state. If that state and county dare to be negligent and slack, they will be dismissed from their posts and exiled for punishment! ”
"I will wait for the document to be issued immediately, and it will take time for it to be sent to the state capitals, so how about the second day of February next year as the date for the election of the provincial capital, so that there can also be a time to prepare, after all, it will take more than a month to get from Liangguang to the capital." Zhang Shenyan replied.
"Then do it! Let's start drafting a draft now and send it to all parts of the country as soon as possible! Cao Bianjiao also agreed with Zhang Shenyan's proposal, and it would be good to raise the head of the second dragon in early February next year.
"There is one more thing, when I passed by Wuchang this time, I saw the official proclamation, the whole article is also, how can the people understand it, from now on, all the official documents to be issued, if you want to inform the people of the whole country, they must be easy to understand, and the vernacular is the best! For example, this military academy can be written like this: the imperial court wants to recruit talents, cultivate military talents for the country, establish a military school, and anyone who has the heart to serve the country can go to the provincial capital to apply, and after qualifying, the provincial government will send it to the capital to enter the school, and the hero does not ask about his background, as long as you feel that you can, the imperial court will be important to you. ”
Honest vernacular, just like the words of the rural people chatting, this is still an unprecedented precedent, listening to the ministers some want to laugh, but dare not laugh, who dares to be so presumptuous!
"I know you think it's ridiculous, but this is really good for the people, it's good, it's used to sing poetry and harmony, not to show it in front of the people, no matter how good you write, the people can't understand it, what's the use, isn't this vernacular bad? Am I not right? ”
"I can't wait!"
Dare not, Cao Bianjiao doesn't care about anything, that's what he did, even if they think it's inappropriate, as long as it's useful, Cao Bianjiao won't talk to them about these useless things.
