Zhu Ao was stunned for a moment, happiness came too suddenly, the widow has a queen, the joy of being a father for the first time is indescribable, the later generations of Zhu Ao have been on a blind date failure, naturally there are no children, after crossing to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because the body occupied is still young, there has been no descendants, I didn't think that today I learned the news that the queen was pregnant, and the whole person was happy and almost stupid, and smiled: "Really? Don't lie to the queen. ”

After speaking, he immediately let go of Sun Yunqi's hands, and then hurriedly turned over and hugged Sun Yunqi in his arms, looking doting.

Being able to conceive flesh and blood for the king, Sun Yunqi is also very happy in his heart, very happy, although there is Lao Zhu's patriarchal system, even if he can't conceive a child, Sun Yunqi's queen status can not be shaken, but as a queen, if she can't give birth to a son and a half daughter for the king, then she will always feel ashamed of the country, ashamed of the king, now everything is fine, her task is finally completed, hugged Zhu Ao tightly, smiled at the king who made him beloved, and said: "How dare the concubines dare to deceive the king in this matter?" The concubine didn't have a menstrual affair this month, so she felt that it was possible, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it, and it was really a happy pulse. The concubine is really happy, and hopes to give birth to a prince for the king. ”

Zhu Ao touched the hair of Queen Sun Yunqi with a doting face, his joy was overflowing, and he felt that every hair on his body was excited, and said with a smile: "Not only princes, but also princesses and widows." The queen should not be psychologically burdened. ”

Sun Yunqi couldn't believe his ears, there is no one in this era who does not value sons over daughters, and a king like Zhu Ao wants his son to inherit his country, how can anyone like his daughter, Bei Tooth lightly, and said gently: "The king doesn't have to comfort the concubine so much, it is not easy for the king to run the Su country into this scene, I hope that the concubine's stomach can compete and give birth to an heir for the king to inherit his father's business." ”

Zhu Ao touched her pretty and peerless face and smiled slightly, and she didn't want to popularize the concept that giving birth to a boy and a girl is the same as him, and the scientific knowledge that giving birth to a boy is determined by the man, she wants to give birth to a boy by her, why should she pour cold water, and smiled: "Okay, good." I hope that the queen will give birth to an heir, and the widow will definitely appoint our eldest son as the crown prince, so that he will inherit our country in the future. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Yunqi buried his head in Zhu Hao's arms and smiled very happily.

After holding his beloved queen and doting on him for a while, Zhu Ao began to fall into deep thought, the widow is going to have children, and he is going to have offspring, in addition to joy, he also feels a kind of responsibility, a kind of foresight, the widow cannot be like the famous foreign monarch - "After I die, even if the flood is terrible." ”

He wants to create a strong nation for his descendants, a great and prosperous world, so that they can enjoy it forever. In this regard, he and his son Zhu Yuanzhang are the same, Zhu Yuanzhang designed a set of the most perfect and effective state apparatus in history for his children and grandchildren during his lifetime, coupled with the perfection of Zhu Laosi, this set of state apparatus can almost be said to have reached the point of impeccable.

The separation of powers at the local level has avoided the local big tail and the big tail, and the central government has set up six parts of power to avoid the emergence of powerful ministers like Wang Mang, although there is a cabinet in the later period, but there is still a certain gap between the cabinet and the real prime minister, in addition to using human rights, there is also a celebrant to suppress his power.

In terms of armament, the system of guards was adopted, allowing large and small officers to be hereditary, so that they could die for the Ming Dynasty, and in addition, they were also granted land to serve the army in agriculture and ensure military supplies.

In the local area, there were chiefs of lijia and grain, and these people helped the officials to collect taxes and control every population and every inch of land in the empire. There are also Dongchang and Jinyiwei to oversee the bureaucratic system throughout the country.

This system can be said to be flawless, if it is effectively operated, as long as the emperor has the basic ability to act, the Ming court will not forget.

If Chongzhen hadn't broken this balance as soon as he came to power, the historical direction of the Ming Dynasty would have been hard to say.

Zhu Ao knows that the most important thing in a country is money, food, soldiers, and horses, and with these resources, there will be talented people who will work for you, because they also want to realize the value of their lives. He has already controlled the money and grain very well, not only has a huge tax revenue, but also large farms, large ranches, and roast duck restaurants can make money from state-owned enterprises, plus there is the supervision of the East Factory Honor and Sanitation Department and the examination method, although he does not dare to guarantee that corruption will be completely eliminated, but I believe that the big head will still enter the treasury.

The rest is the soldiers and horses, Zhu Ao knows that although the system of guards in the early Ming Dynasty is very perfect, but with the stability of the country and the slackness of the king, the officers and officers under the bottom began to encroach on the land of ordinary military households, so that these military households have no land to plant, no food, and finally caused the collective flight of military households, it is the sharp shrinkage of the military resources in the hands of the state, and finally the huge empire has made up 100,000 troops at a time It is very difficult.

For the military equipment must always be unremitting, like the Song Dynasty, do not pay attention to military equipment, only think about spending money to solve disputes, others see that you are rich and easy to bully, will naturally blackmail you.

Armament is nothing more than three points, the first is the source of soldiers, the second is weapons, and the third is officers, after these three points are done, according to the population reserve of the Ming Dynasty at that time, this empire is absolutely unconquerable.

With the military household and armor protection system, every population of Suguo is within the control of Zhu Ao, and if a large number of conscripts are needed, they can be directly pulled out, so there is no need to worry about the source of soldiers.

Weapons manufacturing must also be taken seriously, although Zhu Ao has given the craftsmen rich returns, in order to mobilize their enthusiasm, but these are not enough, he also wants to set up a vocational school in later generations, specializing in training craftsmen, and then set up an arsenal and other state-owned enterprises, specializing in the production of weapons, but the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, greedy and chewy, at this time he still wants to run the military academy first, after all, the current weapons are still enough, and there is no need for large-scale production for the time being.

Although he inherited Lao Zhu's system and allowed the hereditary officers of the Su State to be hereditary, in order to ensure that they could die for themselves, and there was also a process of martial arts assessment when they were hereditary, but he was still not at ease, for fear that the children of these hereditary officers would indulge in pleasure in peacetime, delay martial arts, and cause the decline of the army's overall combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it is necessary to set up military academies to reorganize them in turn, and it is necessary to strictly stipulate that all children of hereditary officers must enter the military academy for a period of three years, and if they fail to pass the examination at the graduation period, they are not allowed to inherit the hereditary position of their ancestors. The study of military schools is also all free, although the three generations of these *** military are not short of money to spend, let them pay for them and they can afford it, but private schools are free, and it is really not the case that military schools still collect money, which has an impact on the sense of honor of soldiers.

Just when Zhu Ao was thinking about his blueprint for national construction, Sun Yunqi, who was already sleepy, had already fallen asleep in his arms. Zhu Ao squinted at his sleeping wife, couldn't bear to disturb her, gently covered her with a quilt, and then hugged her delicate body into a dream.

The next day, Zhu Ao announced the news that the queen was happy, and ordered that from now on, the queen's treatment standard should be raised to a higher level, and everyone in the palace should work together to protect the queen's fetus, and there must be no mistakes.

After the news spread, the quick-witted ministers immediately sent a congratulatory table to Zhu Ao, congratulating the king and the queen, and wishing me a thousand generations of the country. The other three concubines also said hello to Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi, and everyone went to visit Sun Yunqi and brought a lot of gifts to replenish their bodies, and the palace was harmonious and happy.

Two days later, in the early days of the court, Zhu Ao announced the strategic concept of establishing a military academy, which has been easy to prosper and benefit since ancient times, and it is difficult to eliminate evil, and it is actually very easy to do a good deed, because a good deed must be good to people and will be supported by the people, but it is very difficult to get rid of a bad policy, because it will touch the souls of a large number of people with vested interests and be resisted by them. It is an absolutely good thing to run a military academy, which can not only allow the children of those family officers to get the opportunity to study for free, but also train more outstanding officers for the country, which is really a win-win good thing, so it can be vigorously promoted without the slightest obstacle.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, the children of hereditary officers can only inherit their father's position when they are 18 years old, which coincides with Zhu Ao's stipulation that the children of Su Guo go to school, Zhu Ao stipulates that they go to school at the age of 15, and the semester of the military academy is exactly three years.

The requirements for officers are stricter than for ordinary soldiers, because officers are the soul of an army, which is also a concept generally recognized by later countries, so officers trained in military schools are much stricter than ordinary soldiers.

Zhu Ao also plans to thoroughly implement this concept in the military academy of Suguo. According to the decree of the Ming Dynasty, only officers below the command envoy are allowed to be hereditary, and officers above the command envoy can only be promoted, not hereditary. After the opening of the military academy, then the children of the command envoy family, the children of the hundred families will study in one school, although everyone is a classmate, but the background has already determined their class attributes, a child of a hundred families must be nodding when they see the children of the command of the envoy of their own guard, because they have to work under other people's hands later, how can they not learn to be obedient?

In this way, the children of the commanding envoys will inevitably be arrogant, ignoring the various prohibitions of the school, even the instructors and principals, thinking that they are here to gild, and after three years, they will be promoted to the commander in charge of a guard station.

Moreover, this situation is apt to lead to the phenomenon of forming cliques and factions, and the children of a guard officer are all surrounding his future commander and fighting openly and secretly with others, which will have a very negative impact on the overall unity of the army.

In view of this, Zhu Ao stipulated that when the children of officers enter military academies, they adopt the vague name system of the imperial examination, and each person is not allowed to reveal his or her name and unit, and there is only one code name. All information about students must be sealed by the school and not disclosed without permission, otherwise it will be dealt with severely.

The three years that students attend the military academy are fully closed training, and family members are only allowed to visit during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chinese New Year, and they are visited one by one like prison visits to prevent their personal information from being leaked. In addition, students are required to keep their personal information strictly confidential on campus, and if they leak it to others without permission, they will be expelled immediately, and they will not be allowed to inherit their father's position.

Although there is no way to completely put an end to the phenomenon of cadets forming gangs and factions in their identities, because many of the officers of a guard station have played since childhood, and it is not very realistic for them to pretend not to know each other when they arrive at the military academy, but Zhu Ao's purpose is to tell all the officers that all the children of officers are equal when they enter the military academy, and there is no son of the command of the envoy family, and the young master of the thousand families are all students with only code names, everything in the military school is nonsense, and only their own grades are hard currency!

In order to encourage students to study actively, he also stipulated that at the time of graduation each year, five percent of the cadets in the military academy would be rated as outstanding cadets. All outstanding students, when competing for positions in the future, will be given priority in the case of equal merit to others, and no one is allowed to break this rule, otherwise they will be severely punished!

It is believed that in the face of harsh laws and huge temptations, all military cadets will study hard, seeking a good future, and hoping to keep their iron jobs.

Feudal society is not good in a thousand ways, all kinds of bad, but one thing is good, that is, the efficiency of the country, after all, the country is in the hands of the king alone, what he wants to do is a sentence, who does not actively implement the light will lose their jobs, and the heavy will be in prison.

The strategic idea of establishing a military academy was put forward and quickly implemented, and the site of the school was quickly chosen, and officers at all levels expressed their support for the king's decree and actively sent their sons to military schools.

An officer school, it is not enough to have perfect equipment and strict training, you must have your own spirit and your own beliefs, otherwise unless your equipment can crush the opponent, otherwise you will be defeated by the opponent in the future confrontation.

Although Zhu Ao came from later generations, he also wanted to make anti-heaven weapons such as steam engines and machine guns to crush his opponents brainlessly, but he was a liberal arts student and was not very proficient in science, so this idea could only be abandoned. Since it is impossible to crush the opponent in military equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to the strength of the spirit, after two major wars, he deeply realized that sometimes the victory or defeat of the war is often a breath away, and the two sides have run out of ammunition in the end, it depends on whose willpower is more firm. Therefore, the strength of the spirit is very important.

It is necessary to set up a school motto and school rules for their own military schools, the school motto is the spiritual core of a school, and it is the creed that future officers will believe in for life, and the school rules are specific regulations to help students remember the school motto, both of which are very important and must be cautious, because once formulated, it cannot be changed in a short period of time.

After a few days of contemplation, Zhu Ao still decided to copy other people's creed, although he is a liberal arts student, but mainly good at geography, if you talk about chewing words, it is still not comparable to the profound ancient Chinese culture.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the biggest national crisis of the Han people was the Jingkang change in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Mongol extinction of the Song Dynasty, compared with the Mongol extinction of the Song Dynasty, the Jingkang change was more regrettable and hateful, because of a figure who has influenced the spiritual world of the Chinese for hundreds of years - Yue Fei.

And the four words tattooed on Yue Fei's back - serving the country with loyalty have also become the creed of China's people with lofty ideals to the country for hundreds of years, and have become the highest moral standard for Chinese military generals.

The predecessor Zhuyu was in front, and it was impossible for Zhu Ao to use this character of being unprofitable and not being able to afford to be early, so serving the country with loyalty became the first motto of his military academy. In the second sentence of the school motto, Zhu Ao also directly copied the crystallization of wisdom that later generations have been thinking about for a long time, that is, the school motto of the Whampoa Military Academy - dear and sincere.

The Whampoa Military Academy can be said to be the most influential military school in Chinese history, and the modern and modern figures who came out of it can be measured in tons, and the reason why a person and a school can succeed must have his merits, and in Zhu Hao's view, its school motto is the core of its success.

The army is a whole, although the personal qualities of soldiers and officers play a fundamental role, if you take a group of people who have never been trained to go to the battlefield, it is not an army, it is a rabble, but a group of people have no coordination, and if they fight separately, they will not be able to become a big climate.

Therefore, the military rulers of all dynasties have attached great importance to the issue of unity of the army, and when Zeng Guofan organized and trained the Hunan army, he attached great importance to the issue of unity, and if anyone did not save himself in the face of death and sat back and watched the friendly army being annihilated, it would definitely be a click of a knife, and even his old friends for many years would not let go.

The four words of love and sincerity mainly talk about how to unite, not only to love each other, to remember the friendship of classmates, but also to keep improving, work hard to learn skills, and sincere unity, not to be empty. The four-character school motto was submitted to Sun Yat-sen for approval after thinking about it for a long time. The reason why Lao Jiang chose these four words was mainly to consider the Japanese problem. As we all know, Lao Jiang once studied military affairs in Japan, and he saw with his own eyes the training methods of Japanese military schools, which is simply a story of training beasts, training people as beasts.

Lao Chiang was not unaware of the ambitions of the Japanese, and since he studied in Japan, he had already sensed Japan's eagerness for China, and he had expressed deep concern about it. In his view, Japan's industry is more developed than China's, its equipment is better than China's, its soldiers' training is better than China's, and the Japanese army, which takes bushido as its ideological criterion, is not inferior to China in terms of its will to fight, and it is simply crushing China in an all-round way. What is even more terrifying is that he can feel that in a short period of time, it is almost impossible for China to surpass Japan in the first four aspects. So how should China respond to Japan's invasion, which could come at any time?

Lao Chiang believed that Chinese soldiers must have something that Japanese soldiers did not have, and after many days of careful thinking, he finally wrote down the four words "dear and sincere". Because he felt that the human relations in the Japanese army were very cold, and they all worked like killing machines. Lao Jiang believes that the students of the Whampoa Military Academy should not be like this, they should have patriotic feelings, compatriot feelings, the righteousness of classmates, love each other, go to the fire together, go to the same soup, advance and retreat together, and face the test of life and death hand in hand.

It can be said that Lao Chiang really did it, during the entire Anti-Japanese War, in the era when China's traitors and puppet armies were everywhere, many miscellaneous armies surrendered to Japan, but Lao Chiang's Whampoa army descendants rarely surrendered, and they were resolute resistance, making great contributions to the War of Resistance, but also paying huge casualties, according to statistics, by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, only more than 10,000 officers of the more than 100,000 officers trained by the Whampoa Military Academy remained, and the death rate reached more than 90 percent.

The fact that a military academy can have such achievements is inseparable from its dear and sincere school motto, and of course, the couplet mentioned by Sun Yat-sen: "Please go other ways to get promoted and get rich, and don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

This excellent school motto must be absorbed, and Zhu Ao wants to build a military school that belongs to his own history.

As a result, the motto of this Suguo Army Military Academy is set as the above eight words: "Serve the country with loyalty, love and sincerity." Since the school motto is the core of a school, Zhu Ao wanted to write it himself and hang it in the lobby of the Suguo Army Military Academy to highlight the importance of this school motto.

After the school motto is formulated, the next thing is the school rules, there is no need to think about it yourself, you can completely move the 22 military rules of the most famous West Point military academy in later generations, no way, who makes himself a traverser? You can openly take the theories that have been proven in practice in later generations and use them yourself.

The contents of these 22 Catch-2 are known to many people, they are: first, unconditional implementation, second, no excuses for work, third, details determine success or failure, fourth, the boss as an example, fifth, the principle of honor, sixth, popular, seventh, good at cooperation, eighth, team spirit, ninth, only first, tenth, dare to take risks, eleventh, fiery spirit, twelfth, constantly improve yourself, thirteenth, the game of the brave, fourteenth, go all out, fifteenth, conscientious, sixteenth, There is no impossibility, 17th, never give up, 18th, dedication as the soul, 19th, struggle for yourself, 20th, above the idea, 21st, spontaneous and spontaneous, 22nd, act immediately.

It can be said that these 22 military regulations are very philosophical, not only for the army, but also for the lives of ordinary people, and they are written down as the motto of the military academy of the Suguo Army, and I believe that they will play a good guiding role in the development of the Suguo army and the personal growth of the officers.
