1096 Fujian Junior Wubei Hall
"Sun Qing, how is the preparation of the Fujian Junior Martial Arts Hall?"
Emperor Chongzhen's question was prompted by the system to Sun Chuanting for the first time. Immediately, Sun Chuanting replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has made all preparations and is scheduled to officially start the class the day after tomorrow." ”
"Okay, the eunuchs I sent have already studied in the Jingshi Primary Martial Arts Hall, and several of them were drawn from the new army in Liaodong, but they are not experienced in water warfare, although there are textbooks compiled by me, but it is not enough, Zheng Qing's side, Qing has also ordered him to sort out the textbooks of naval warfare, which should be given to me in these two days. When the time comes, it can be used as a primary military hall in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. ”
"The minister understands!" Sun Chuanting saw it and immediately replied, "The Heavenly Ministers will personally go to preside over it!" ”
"Well, that's very good." Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied, nodded and said, "To let the students know the importance of the imperial court, to let them be proud to enter the primary martial arts hall, the transfer of troops in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong should also be the same as the Jingshi side, under the same conditions, the junior martial arts hall students must be given priority, and the students with good grades must be preferred." ”
"Wechen understands!" Sun Chuanting responded without hesitation. This was made clear when the decree was handed down in each province to establish a primary military hall. The emperor emphasized it again, so he naturally attached more importance to it.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished explaining this, he didn't say anything more. On the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, since last year, the two naval divisions of Fujian and Denglai jointly cleared the pirates and annihilated the Hongyi of the Dayuan, and now in this period, the coastal pirates are basically empty, and they have all gone to the South Seas.
He believed that this period was the best opportunity to reorganize the sailors, so among the primary military halls in the provinces, he paid the most attention to the primary military halls in Fujian. The first batch of members of this military academy, he also instructed Sun Chuanting, and the cadets were mainly soldiers in the water division. After this reorganization, let the Ming Fujian Sailor try to get rid of Zheng Zhilong's influence.
The water master is the water master of the Ming Dynasty, and it is by no means Zheng Zhilong's water master!
He was thinking of this, and suddenly saw a series of private chats sent by Liu Jinsheng, it was Zheng Zhilong who completed the compilation of naval warfare textbooks on schedule, and Liu Jinsheng took pictures and passed them over.
Although Emperor Chongzhen himself had never led an army to fight a naval battle, the development of the network in later generations allowed him to understand the knowledge of naval warfare to some extent, and the details may not be clear. But for this textbook, it's okay to comment one or two.
Therefore, after receiving the naval warfare textbook sent by Liu Jinsheng, he immediately read it seriously.
I have to say that Zheng Zhilong is indeed good at naval warfare, from the selection of sailors to the advantages and disadvantages of warships, there are detailed explanations. Emperor Chongzhen had received the textbook compiled by Li Zhiqi, the sailor of Denglai, a few days ago, and he found that Li Zhiqi was better at being familiar with warships, transforming warships and fighting in battle; Judging from the teaching materials, Zheng Zhilong paid more attention to the selection of sailors, the gathering of military morale, and the collection of intelligence. In terms of the methods of naval warfare, the teaching materials of both men are similar, nothing more than arson, springboards, shelling, siege and so on.
After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen drew out a lot of key points, and crossed out some very heavy Jianghu flavor means. And on a large level, he wrote about some things he knew, such as the maritime history of the current world. He believes that after being added to the textbook, the soldiers of the Daming Navy can have an understanding of the whole world, and their vision cannot be limited to the surroundings of the Daming Dynasty. Then he gave the folder authority of the two books to Liu Jinsheng and Sun Chuanting, so that they could both read it, and Zheng Zhilong combined the two textbooks into one and became official textbooks.
At the end, he said to Liu Jinsheng: "Tell Zheng Qing that success is very good on the side of Jingshi, and people are very smart. These days, I am inseparable from Li Dingguo, who I brought back from Liaodong, and I can see that both of them will be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty in the future! ”
Zheng Zhilong was by Liu Jinsheng's side, and when he heard his relay, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, the emperor not only gave his son a successful name, but just in this name, he knew that the emperor did not treat his son badly, and praised him like this. That Li Dingguo, Zheng Zhilong also knows something, and he is a child that the emperor likes very much, and he is cultivating it with all his might. My son must have learned a lot with him.
Therefore, he hurriedly laughed with him, and asked Liu Jinsheng to convey his gratitude to the emperor, and said that he did not relax in the slightest about the reorganization of the sailors.
With Zheng Zhilong's human essence, he naturally knew why the emperor was so good to his son. And now the emperor drove his own expedition to recover Liaodong in one fell swoop and pacified the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The entire Mongolian steppe bordering the Ming Dynasty has also become a part of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is far from being comparable to before. He doesn't want to rebel and fight against the Ming Dynasty, so he can only listen to the emperor's words well, and only in this way can he enjoy the glory and wealth of his wife and son. In addition, according to what the emperor said, he still has a chance to go down in history, and he also cares about it very much.
As if he knew what he would think in his heart, Liu Jinsheng conveyed the words of Emperor Chongzhen: "At the Tongzhou Shipyard, the ironclad steam warship has been built, and there are still many technical difficulties to overcome for the all-ironclad warship, but the iron-clad warship has already been built, and now it is being tested with a steam engine, and it is estimated that there will be a result at the end of this year or early next year." ”
When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He still remembers the scene described by the emperor himself during the first visit. Ironclad battleships, which can move forward automatically without manpower, and even can go against the wind, at that time, I listened to it as if I was listening to a book from heaven, and I felt that this was impossible. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years since this kind of warship has been eyebrows. In other words, the prospects described to him by the emperor before should be true!
Thinking about it like this, he was even more determined in his heart. The matter of the reorganization of the sailors must be strengthened. When a new type of sailor is trained, it is estimated that it will be a master of the South Seas, and there are further places, those oceans that Xiyi can reach, and the Daming Sailor can also go!
The news of Emperor Chongzhen was actually a shock to Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong does not cooperate and wants to confront the imperial court, there will be no good end. At that time, the Denglai Navy Division will be equipped with a new type of warship, and even at sea, which Zheng Zhilong is best at, it will not be the opponent of the imperial court.
It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen invisibly gave both grace and power to make Zheng Zhilong so obedient and willing to reorganize the Fujian Navy.
On this day, in a small harbor near Taiping Port, there are several lonely buildings in this area. But at this time, there were many soldiers, and on the side of the dock square, a group of soldiers were standing in line. In front of them, there stood a group of senior Ming generals.
At this time, although it is already October, the weather is still a little hot in Fujian. However, neither the generals nor the soldiers on the square dared to be lazy or avoid the sun.
It's not that their military discipline has been trained like that of the new army, but that they are waiting for someone, and they are afraid of that person. The nickname of "Cold-faced Hades" is piled up with countless facts. Those who did not believe in evil, whether it was officers and soldiers, ordinary people, or gentry or families, bumped into the hands of the governor, and finally achieved his reputation as a cold-faced king of Hades.
And the Governor is obviously very favored, and he has been doing it, no matter how many impeachments there are, it is difficult to help him! Even the more he was impeached, the more he was rewarded by the emperor. As a result, there are finally fewer people who want to impeach him. In Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, they all obediently acted in accordance with the rules of the cold-faced king and the policies of the imperial court.
At this time, there were people who spoke in a low voice, but there were not many soldiers, but among the generals, a few people were talking around.
"Big brother, this time a group of eunuchs were sent from Jingshi, can they adapt to the humid heat in the south?"
"That's right, big brother, the imperial court has sent so many eunuchs over, and it is to build this martial arts hall, and most of them are from our sailors, can the imperial court not trust the eldest brother?"
"Big brother, how many uses does this junior martial arts hall have, it's impossible to sit here and learn, and it can be more powerful than us putting our heads up on the boat, right?"
“……”
The man who was surrounded heard them whispering, and couldn't help but shout in the same low voice: "Shut up for me, and in the future, on formal occasions, they will be commensurate with their official positions." Remember, you're part of the Ming Warriors, you know? ”
The person who spoke was naturally Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the water division, and at this time, because of the merits of suppressing the bandits, he had been promoted step by step from guerrilla to deputy general. After teaching his cronies a lesson, when he saw Liu Jinsheng, who had gone out of Gong, come back, he commanded in a low voice: "He is trying in every possible way to catch us, and if he wants to die, don't drag me down, understand?" ”
A group of cronies were trained by him to be silent, so that after Liu Jinsheng arrived at Zheng Zhilong's side, he felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, but he didn't care.
Instead, Zheng Zhilong asked Liu Jinsheng with concern whether he had a bad stomach and how his body was.
He was whispering when suddenly, a fast horse galloped in, and at the same time there was a loud announcement: "Your Excellency the Governor has arrived!" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was in high spirits, and one by one they held their heads high and showed their best spirit. Under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong, he strode towards the entrance of the square.
After a while, I saw a team of knights trotting over, and the leader knew at a glance that it was Sun Chuanting, the high-ranking governor of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. At this time, his face was already sweating, and it was obviously hot. However, Sun Chuanting didn't seem to care about this at all, as usual, with a cold face, as if everyone owed him money.
Behind Sun Chuanting, there is a group of people who are more special, and everyone can see that this is a lot of eunuchs in the north. However, in the future, you can't just call eunuchs, these people will be instructors of the Fujian Junior Martial Arts Hall, and a large part of the good or bad grades and what their career will be in the future are in the hands of these people.
The status of these people is so high that even Sun Chuanting's confidant Liu Guoneng is ranked behind these people, which can be seen.
Zheng Zhilong led his sailor generals and immediately went to salute.
Sun Chuanting stopped his horse, then turned over and dismounted vigorously, and responded with a cold "um" with a cold face, and then strode to the platform in front of the square, and his style of action was as vigorous and resolute as before, and there was no change because of his promotion to governor.
For Sun Chuanting, Zheng Zhilong and others have long been surprised, and they have followed according to their official positions, and they all went to the stage to stand.
Sun Chuanting stood in front of the platform, with a cold face, and glanced at the soldiers standing below. After looking at it for a while, he shouted coldly: "Fujian's primary martial arts hall is valued by the imperial court and the emperor. Your performance in the Armed Forces Hall will also be seen by the Officer. Ugly words are ahead, who wants not to be motivated, do not listen to the words of the instructor, do not study hard, and cannot graduate when it expires, don't blame the official for being polite! ”
"Cold-faced Hades!" When many soldiers heard this, they were secretly calling nicknames in their hearts. However, on the surface, they maintained their best spirit one by one and did not dare to make any changes.
Sun Chuanting glanced at them, his cold gaze pierced everyone's eyes, and after looking at it for a while, he said in a cold voice: "As long as you can get the approval of the instructor, you can graduate from the Wubei Hall, and you can be promoted according to the law, if you don't get promoted, you can come directly to the Governor's Mansion to find your own official." This official wants to see who dares to stop those who have graduated from the martial arts hall. ”
As the governor of the three provinces, Sun Chuanting naturally couldn't worry about the promotion of junior military attachés in the water division, and naturally there was a yamen to manage junior military attachés. However, if he put this out in public, it shows that he attaches great importance to it.
In the past, there were greasy things about the promotion of officials, such as relationships, such as bribery, etc., Sun Chuanting originally saw one by one and caught one by one, and did not give any affection, nor did he talk about affection, but now with this, these soldiers who can graduate from the junior military hall do not have to worry about these, otherwise they can go to the governor's yamen, and with the governor's style of doing things, they will inevitably make decisions for them.
Therefore, after hearing this, these soldiers in the square showed a trace of joy on their faces, and they called the nickname "Cold-faced Hades" in their hearts, but this time, they were cordial in their hearts.
Sun Chuanting didn't seem to see the joy of these soldiers below, he still had a cold face, glanced at them, and continued to shout coldly: "This official reminds you that after graduating from the junior martial arts hall, don't lose the face of the junior martial arts hall students, and make meritorious contributions before you can go to the senior martial arts hall of the Beijing Division, which is a must-go place for my senior generals of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is also a protégé of the Son of Heaven!" This official hopes that you can all go to the Ming Advanced Military Preparation Hall and become a protégé of the Son of Heaven. That's all you have to say, wait for yourself! ”
This time, for him, it was a bit too much. But there is no way, the emperor is very concerned about the preparation of this primary military hall in Fujian, so he has to say more.
Next, it is to introduce those eunuch instructors and introduce the situation of the junior martial arts hall. When the "opening ceremony" was over, the teaching materials were distributed and the school was ready to start.
Some people who know how to read and write, when they got the textbook, they looked through it and couldn't help but exclaim.
