After Emperor Chongzhen finished the first lesson, it was already past noon, and the opening ceremony of the lecture hall could only be held in the afternoon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this noon, Emperor Chongzhen, who knew how important the military spirit was, accompanied by Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, Zhang Weixian, Mao Yuanyi and others, had lunch with the students of the lecture hall in the large dining hall of the lecture hall, and the meals they ate were naturally exactly the same as everyone in the lecture hall.

At present, there are four sections of horse, infantry, artillery, and engineering, with a total of 150 students.

At the beginning, Mao Yuanyi and others divided their subjects according to their personal wishes, but as a result, most of the students chose the cavalry department, the infantry department, and the artillery department, and there were about 20 people, but none of the engineers chose it.

Finally, in order to balance the students of each subject, at the suggestion of the chief teacher Ma Shilong, the only way to abandon the voluntary division of subjects and adopt the method of random drawing of lots can be regarded as dividing the students of the four subjects into four subjects more evenly.

As a result, there are now three sections of horse infantry artillery, each with 40 people, each section has two platoons and four stalls, and the platoon commander and chief are under management, while the engineer section is 30 people, which is organized into a platoon and three stalls.

Each tithe, the accommodation of ten people, is three rooms open, sleeping on a large kang with a bunk, dining is a long dining table, two long benches.

The emperor and the accompanying ministers of military aircraft dispersed, and sat in front of the long dining tables with the students of each platoon and Shi in the lecture hall, and had lunch together. Sun Chengzong and others knew that the emperor's move must have deep meaning, so they did not blindly dissuade them. And the effect of this, of course, is surprisingly good.

In ancient China, at least since the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an atmosphere of nobility and martial deity, not only the literati and doctors thought so, but also the martial class itself.

In later generations, there was still a classification of workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers in society, but now soldiers are not even as good as businessmen. Moreover, this situation became more and more intense in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and a military general, even if the official was in the position of the chief soldier, had no status in front of a seven-rank civil official. This is also one of the trends that Emperor Chongzhen wants to try to reverse.

An army without a sense of honor will not have combat effectiveness, if the people and the industrial and commercial classes all despise the Ming soldiers, how can you expect these despised Ming soldiers to fight for them?

Now, the emperor is under the same roof with these martial artists who were still serving in front of the army a few months ago, not only teaching them personally, but also eating at the same table with them, which has never happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The scene of the leaders of later generations inspecting and condolences at the grassroots level, this Emperor Chongzhen from later generations naturally saw a lot, so he came casually, which moved these previous low-level military attachés.

Emperor Chongzhen asked for their names one by one and distributed food to some of them.

And all this that the emperor did, of course, made the students of the martial arts hall remember the five insides. In their hearts, the generals who loved soldiers like sons in the past were just undressing and pushing food, and the emperor's current practice is not much worse.

What's more, the emperor personally went to the lecture hall to teach, and from then on he could also call himself a protégé of the Son of Heaven, what a great honor it was.

Now that a simple lunch has been eaten, Emperor Chongzhen has easily captured the loyalty of all the students in the martial arts hall, at least the ten young military attache cadets of the cavalry section on the table where he is at the table, and they have been absolutely loyal to the emperor since then, including Huang Degong, who brought his mother to school.

Emperor Chongzhen finished lunch with the students, went to the specially prepared residence of the lecture hall, rested for more than an hour, and then started another highlight of the day.

Before the time came, on the large playground of the lecture hall, all the lecturers and four scientific members of the lecture hall were lined up.

Emperor Chongzhen put on a specially prepared dress, accompanied by his entourage, came to the large playground, boarded the review stand, and first read out a holy decree that clearly explained the rules and discipline of the martial arts hall by Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and then Emperor Chongzhen said to everyone: "From today onwards, the Huangming Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall, even if it is opened, you are the students of the first phase of the Huangming Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall, and you will be the backbone and pillars of my Ming New Army in the future."

"I believe that the new army must not only have new rules, new weapons, and new uniforms, but also have a new spirit, a new look, and a new image.

"Since I decided to open a martial arts hall and train the new army, my queen began to embroider a new military flag in the palace for the new army of the Ming Dynasty, and this military flag pinned on me and the queen, the expectations of the new army, and your expectations.

"Today, I bring this military flag here and hand it over to you, hoping that my Ming New Army, under this military flag, will be invincible and invincible, and I hope that one day in the future, you will also be able to inherit the family because of the great military exploits you have made, so that you can inherit the family, seal the wife and the son, and be the descendants."

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen handed over the military flag held by Wang Chengen in both hands to Sun Chengzong, who knelt down to take the military flag, and then, everyone in the review stage, under the leadership of Li Banghua, Zhang Weixian and other military ministers, knelt on the ground, and shouted three times, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The temporary large review stand is located at the north end of the large playground of the lecture hall, and in front of the review stand is a flagpole.

After Emperor Chongzhen let everyone get up, he also walked down the review stand, came to the flagpole, and together with Sun Chengzong, slowly raised the dragon flying phoenix dance flag with a vermilion background to the top of the flagpole.

The civil and military attachés under it, and the people who accompanied him, naturally there was a burst of voices calling for long live.

Looking at the red dragon and phoenix flag stretched out in the wind, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was naturally full of emotion.

It is not that the Ming official army does not have military flags, in fact, on the contrary, the flag honor guards of the Ming official army are not only numerous, but also extremely complex.

There are not only the Qingdao Flag, the Golden Drum Flag, the Chinese Army Leopard Tail Dragon Flag, the Green Dragon White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu Quartet Flag, which are common in later film and television dramas, but also the uncommon Three Armies Division Flag, the Five Elements Flag, the Twenty-Eight Star Flag, and what Liujia God General Flag, Liuding God General Flag, etc., are very complicated.

Not only do the governors of the five armies have their own golden drum banners, but also the generals and even the officials at each level also have banners commensurate with their status, status, and authority.

However, the crux of the matter is that these golden drum flags are rarely used in ordinary times, and they are only used on the battlefield or when they encounter major events.

Of course, this situation is not only the case of the Ming Dynasty, but also the previous dynasties, there is neither a unified national flag nor a unified military flag, even the Manchu Dynasty, which is famous for its flag people, does not have a unified national flag or military flag.

Historically, it was not until the late nineteenth century, out of consideration for reciprocity with the Western powers in foreign exchanges, that the Manchu court designed the national flag, which was the triangular yellow dragon flag at first.

Later, it was found that the pennant was still not equal to the national flag of the West, so after a few decades, it was changed to a rectangular Yellow Dragon flag, and then within a few years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also perished, and basically did not come in handy.

Today's Daming, of course, will not be like this, there must be a flag that can symbolize the court and the army.

However, what image can fully represent the Chinese nation, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and at the same time represent the Zhu Ming royal family?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen set this symbolic flag as the dragon flying phoenix dance flag with a vermilion background. The red and yellow colors are just like the five-star red flags of later generations, but the shape is larger.

The vermilion rectangular flag, which is six feet long and four feet wide, is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon with teeth and claws, and a golden phoenix soaring with wings.

The dragon is on the top, the phoenix is on the bottom, a dragon and a phoenix, the head and the tail are connected, the head of the dragon is looking back at the flagpole, the head of the phoenix is looking back at the tail of the flag, implying that the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, which not only symbolizes the ninety-five respect of the dragon, but also symbolizes the rebirth of the phoenix.

In the future, whether it is the towns on the nine sides, or the inland guards, or the coastal sailors, all must be hung in a unified manner, and other various functional golden drum Qingdao flags and general identification flags, of course, should still be used, but only this red dragon and phoenix flag can be used as a symbol of the official court and army of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to stimulate the sense of honor and cohesion of the Ming army as much as possible through such formal things, and bring this army and this country to the track of modernization step by step.
