Chapter 253 In the Lecture Hall

The Luhewan camp of the Guards is not far from the lecture hall that is also in the north of the city, and the group walked for about half an hour on the road covered with thick snow, and the stone archway engraved with the seven golden characters of the emperor's loyalty and righteousness lecture hall entered the eyes of the emperor.

After the stone archway, Emperor Chongzhen got off the carriage before the gate of the lecture hall, met with Mao Yuanyi and other main officials of the lecture hall one by one, and then surrounded by everyone, entered the gate of the lecture hall.

After passing the second gate, the eyes suddenly opened up, and it was the large playground where the military flag was awarded and the first batch of students were reviewed.

At this time, the snow on the playground and the surrounding roads has been cleared, and in the center of the grassland, a huge red flag with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing is fluttering in the wind.

Under the banner stood the second batch of students who entered the martial arts hall after its establishment, and they were also the 200 martial artists admitted by Enke Wuju in the first year of Chongzhen.

The three-month purgatory-like martial arts career has allowed these martial artists, who have always only focused on personal martial arts, to be successfully reborn, and they already have the majesty of a battlefield general.

These people stood together, no longer as individuals, but as they stood together, they became part of the whole.

Emperor Chongzhen ascended to the school parade platform under the banner, and then watched the subsequent parade of the two hundred martial artists below.

This is a subject set by the Military Aircraft Department in advance for the lecture hall.

Mao Yuanyi, Meng Qiaofang and other officials of the martial arts hall, including Yan Yingyuan, the most prestigious of these martial artists, heard that Emperor Chongzhen was going to come to Tongzhou to lecture on martial arts again, and they all hoped to show the emperor the results of the three-month training, so they arranged many subjects, such as the spear phalanx, musket three-stage shooting, archery and horse archery, and artillery loading and aiming, and so on.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, who got the plan to lecture on martial arts, only retained the most basic subject, that is, the queue will exercise.

Looking at the two hundred martial artists, like a whole, listening to the orders of their respective team officers, all the movements were neatly aligned, and they simply marched neatly to the playground under the school parade platform, changing various steps according to different orders, without a single flaw, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was very happy.

What he was most worried about was the competitive and ruthless personality of these warriors, and he wanted them to know that the Ming official army must be a disciplined and uniform army, neither cowardly nor strong.

Historically, Wang Lai hired this martial champion, and soon after he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was arranged by Emperor Chongzhen to serve as the deputy chief soldier in Jizhen, but before he could play his due role, he rushed into the enemy formation shirtless and waved his sword in a battle and died.

Although such a way of death is heroic, as a martial artist, the courage of a man in vain is a manifestation of no brains.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen doesn't want the martial artists he has worked so hard to recruit will die like this in the future.

After watching the parade of the warriors, on the big playground, Emperor Chongzhen personally handed out exquisitely carved round copper pipes to the hands of the 200 warriors in front of the queue, and among the copper pipes, the volume was the graduation document voucher of the second phase of the Huangming Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall.

These people will be uniformly arranged by the Military Aircraft Department according to their rankings when they were admitted to the Jinshi Examination, as well as their rankings in combination with the results in the graduation assessment of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

Of course, the Emperor himself chose and made arrangements for this except.

After watching the parade of the martial arts warriors, accepting each of their visits, and personally issuing them the diploma certificate of graduation, Emperor Chongzhen took everyone to have lunch with the lecturers, instructors and these martial artists who are officially graduated today in the large canteen of the martial arts hall.

In this era, most of the ordinary people's homes still have two meals a day, and lunch is relatively late.

But now, in the lecture hall, as well as in the Zhuozhou and Tongzhou camps of the Guards, the system of three meals a day was implemented from the beginning.

Emperor Chongzhen and the two ministers of military aircraft were still dispersed to all the students' tables as usual, on the one hand, to understand the students, and on the other hand, to get closer to each other.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was arranged to sit at the table of Yan Yingyuan and others, and in addition to Yan Yingyuan, there happened to be Wang Gongluo and Chen Mingyu sitting at this table.

Originally, the three giants of the Jiangyin garrison who held Jiangyin for more than 80 days after the death of the Ming Dynasty and wiped out tens of thousands of Manchu troops in history are now all gathered at this table.

In history, these three people finally got together, although they were not born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, but they really died on the same day, the same month, and the same year.

Wang Gongluo was only a martial artist in history, while Chen Mingyu was the canonical history that Yan Yingyuan took over.

Now these three people have not only been selected as martial artists, but also the three people who originally didn't know each other in the north and south of the world, after arriving in the martial arts hall, they quickly came together and became good buddies.

Perhaps this is the inertia of history and their fate.

Originally, it was a rectangle of ten people, but now the emperor sits on one side of the north and faces south, and no one can sit on the opposite side, so at the moment, except for the emperor, only six people sit.

In addition to the three giants of Jiangyin's resistance to the Qing Dynasty in history, there are three people at the table where Emperor Chongzhen sits, and these three people are Zhu Kezhen from Shunde, Guangdong, Pan Yunteng from Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and Weng Zhiqi from Zhejiang Renhe.

Although these people were born in Wujinshi, they were Wujinshi after all, and they did not have the kind of food and silence of literati, so Emperor Chongzhen was eating a simple meal while whispering and talking with a few people.

Although these people were frightened and reserved, they did not affect communication.

Listening to several people introduce their names and places of origin, Emperor Chongzhen asked them about their plans, some said that they would follow the arrangements of the imperial court, and some euphemistically said that they would like to return to their hometowns to serve if possible.

A meal was eaten quickly. Emperor Chongzhen, accompanied by the two ministers of military aircraft and Mao Yuanyi and others, came to the place where the emperor had stayed in the compound of the lecture hall to rest.

In the afternoon, Emperor Chongzhen finished his rest, re-summoned a group of officials in the martial arts hall, listened to Mao Yuanyi's detailed report on the situation of the martial arts hall today, and then commended Mao Yuanyi for the meritorious personnel of the martial arts hall below, and announced some new arrangements for the martial arts hall in the imperial court:

The two positions of the general office of the lecture hall and the minister of the conference office were abolished, and the secretary of the lecture hall was added with reference to the Guozijian, and the secretary of the lecture hall was added with reference to the state of the army, and the secretary of the four departments of horse, infantry, artillery, and engineering was added, and Mao Yuanyi, the squire of the military department, was appointed as the sacrificial wine, and Fu Zonglong, the right servant of the imperial history, was the director, and Meng Qiaofang was promoted from the rank of deputy chief of the general to the secretary.

Needless to say, Mao Yuanyi has been involved in the preparation of the martial arts hall, and it can be regarded as starting from scratch and building the martial arts hall.

Moreover, because the emperor attached great importance to the "Wubei Zhi", the edict ordered the military department and the military institute to make plates and engrave them, and distribute them to the provincial capitals and the world's martial arts, Mao Yuanyi's fame is also getting bigger and bigger, and his prestige in the hearts of courtiers and warriors is also getting higher and higher.

Now that the lecture hall has successfully completed the training tasks of the two phases of students, and the effect is not bad, it is already on the right track, Sun Chengzong asked himself not to concurrently serve as the general minister of the lecture martial arts, and Zhang Weixian quickly asked his own minister to dismiss when he saw this.

The two recommended Mao Yuanyi to directly serve as a sacrificial wine and be in charge of all the affairs of the martial arts hall, and Emperor Chongzhen immediately agreed, and took advantage of the situation to carry out some reorganization of the martial arts hall.

As for the candidate for this position, Sun Chengzong recommended Fu Zonglong, who was born as a jinshi, served in the military department, and had military exploits in the southwest.

Fu Zonglong, a native of Kunming, Yunnan, a Jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, is also a figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, in the last years of Chongzhen, the military department was changed very frequently, and this Fu Zonglong served as the military secretary, and served as the supervisor of the extermination of the thieves, and finally was captured on the battlefield of the extermination of the thieves, and died unyieldingly.

Sun Chengzong served as the secretary of the military department during the Apocalypse, and Fu Zonglong served in the military department at that time, and was sent to the southwest to assist Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guiyang and the governor of counterinsurgency at that time, to suppress luxury Chongming and An Bangyan, and made many military achievements, which is known to Sun Chengzong.

But later, Wang Sanshan suppressed the bandits in ambush, the army was defeated and died, and the southwest was in turmoil, and Fu Zonglong also returned home with the crime and exempted from the throne, and it was not until Chongzhen ascended the throne that he was reinstated by the Ministry of Officials and recommended as the right prince of the Inspectorate.

Now Sun Chengzong recommended him to serve as the director of the Lecture Hall as the Imperial History of the Right Inspectorate, and he was soon recognized by Emperor Chongzhen.

As for Meng Qiaofang, now this Emperor Chongzhen knows his future, and he didn't want to use him, but after Meng Qiaofang went to the lecture hall as a bishop, he showed a strong talent, Sun Chengzong and Mao Yuanyi recommended it, and considering that this person finally became the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he is indeed a talent, a ruthless character, and it is a pity not to use it, so he let him be the secretary of the lecture hall.

This time, the lecture hall not only added a sacrificial wine and a director, but also set up three institutions, one is the general affairs office, the other is the academic affairs office, and there is also a discipline office.

Mao Yuanyi is in charge of the Academic Affairs Office and the General Affairs Office, while Meng Qiaofang, the secretary of the business, is in charge of the General Affairs Office as Mao Yuanyi's assistant, and the director is in charge of the Discipline Office, as well as the Academic Affairs Office and the General Affairs Office. Such a cross arrangement is enough to ensure the smooth operation of the lecture hall.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished arranging all the affairs of the lecture hall, he met with John Tang, Antonio de Capo and other Westerners who were now serving as instructors in the lecture hall, and each of them rewarded Chongzhen with 200 silver dollars as a reward.

After doing these things, Emperor Chongzhen explained to Mao Yuanyi, Meng Qiaofang and others some precautions related to the allocation of the second batch of students and the recruitment of the third batch of students, and ended the summons.

Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage stayed in the hall specially prepared by the lecture hall that night, and the next morning, after breakfast, they went to the military academy.
