"Fifth brother, come to see me so soon, is it because you are too young?" Zhu Youxiao finally retired from the court, and when he heard that Zhu Youzhen came to see him, he immediately rushed over, he wanted to see how happy his younger brother who had just won the real title was.

"What did the imperial brother say, the younger brother had just entered the Fenwu camp, and he was named a general of martial arts, and it was too late for the younger brother to thank the imperial brother. No, the younger brother hurried to thank the royal brother. The younger brother is afraid that the army will not be convinced. "Zhu Youzhen doesn't care what kind of official position he wants, what he wants is for the Ming Dynasty to become stronger, so that he will not soon lose the country, and he will not fall under the iron cavalry of Jiannu, a tiger and wolf nation that is backward in culture, science and technology, economy, and politics, and only knows how to ride and shoot, and he will not be hanged in Jingshan in the future.

The sun is so bright, the air is so fresh, the world is so beautiful, Wan'er is so charming, obedient, and bird-like, who wants to be hanged in front of their political opponents when they reach middle age?

"Li Shangshu has a lot of praise for the fifth brother! He said, at a young age, you know how to lead soldiers and are good at planning for the stability of the country. In time, it will be no less than Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao's smile is from the heart, if Zhu Youzhen can really prosper the country and secure the country, he will hand over the country to Zhu Youzhen to take care of, let him face the northern Jiannu and the lack of households, as long as his inner treasury has money to spend, and he has time to do a good job of unfinished woodwork.

"Lord Li has praised his brother falsely." Zhu Youzhen knew that his training of the army was just the beginning, and the soldiers had not yet been on the battlefield, and everything was still on paper, and it was still far from the tiger and wolf division in his mind.

Huo Qubing destroyed the Xiongnu in the first battle and completely disappeared the Xiongnu in the dust of history; Li Jing first helped Li Shimin pacify the Central Plains, and then surrendered to the Western Turks who threatened the Tang Dynasty from time to time.

"Haha, you're still young, don't rush. Fifth brother, do you want to expand the Fenwu camp and train more tiger and wolf divisions for me? Zhu Youxiao rarely put aside the carpentry work and patiently talked about military affairs. The constant bad news from Liaodong made him so worried that he didn't even have the strength to pick up an axe.

"Brother Huang, the Ming Dynasty has more than two million troops, and the ministers and brothers can't train them all at all. The younger brother had an idea that could help the imperial brother train so many troops. "Zhu Youzhen has always been concerned about the military academy, with the military academy, the officers can be mass-produced, and then they will train the army, this is the multiplier effect.

"Fifth brother, what's the best way?" As soon as Zhu Youxiao heard that he could train more than 2 million troops across the country into a tiger and wolf division like the Fenwu Battalion, he immediately came to his senses and even put aside the unfinished wooden tools.

"Establish a military academy. A military academy is a school, equivalent to a small barracks, that specializes in training officers. After the officers have been trained, they will train the soldiers, which is like having thousands of subordinates training the soldiers, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort. "Zhu Youzhen tried his best to speak in layman's terms, otherwise, with Zhu Youxiao's military knowledge, he would not understand what a military academy was at all.

"Fifth brother is saying that with the military academy, the more than two million troops of the Ming Dynasty can quickly become a tiger and wolf army that can fight?" This emperor, who has a single hobby, thinks in his heart that with more than two million tigers and wolves, who can he arrest and destroy whom, why worry about Jiannu in the northeast and Mongolia in the northwest?

"It's basically like this, it's much faster than training a brother alone." Zhu Youzhen was much busier than Zhu Youzhen, and he could not bind himself to military training battalion by battalion. For ethnic groups who do not understand the form of the state and the crisis of the nation, he, a young man who has traveled through the country, has a lot to do.

"How much silver does it take to form a military school? There is a lot of silver, and the household department is afraid that it will not agree. In Zhu Youxiao's mind, since the military academy is so useful, it can be formed, but the silver cannot come out of the inner treasury, and the army fights for the country, of course, the household department pays for it.

"It won't be much, if you don't include food, about 20,000 taels." Zhu Youzhen has already summed up that the current military academy is not a real military academy, but only a short-term training for officers, and the time for each term will not be too long, and the number of people will not be too large, as long as the army of the Beijing division is trained well, so the house and land do not need to be too big. If the imperial court can experience the role of military schools in the future, it will not be too late to expand the scale.

"Well, you're in charge of the military academy. The location of the military academy was discussed with the Ministry of Industry, and the funds were allocated by the Ministry of Households. "As long as it is only 20,000 taels, you can train two million tiger and wolf divisions for Daming, Zhu Youxiao feels that the money is worth it, and he doesn't want his inner treasury to pay.

Coming out of the imperial city, Zhu Youzhen went directly to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry. With Zhu Youxiao's holy decree, and there is not much silver, the officials of the household department did not embarrass him, even if the military academy does not have the expected effect, it doesn't matter, the right to give this young prince to go to the Qinglou to squander.

Accompanied by the personnel of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Youzhen quickly selected the address of the military academy outside the Dongzhi Gate, which is a hilly area close to the Fenwu camp, covering an area of about 50 acres, and the terrain is relatively open.

Although the scope of the demarcation is not large, there are still many vacant spaces on the periphery, which is an important reason why Zhu Youzhen chose this place in order to prepare for the expansion of the military academy in the future. In the first phase, the Ministry of Household allocated 3,000 taels as start-up funds for leveling the land and demarcating the fence.

Zhu Youzhen's biggest headache now is the lack of manpower, neither a large number of staff members to give advice to him, nor enough manpower to run errands for him. There was no way, so he had to transfer the special combat team of the Fenwu Battalion and let the captain Wang Mujiu take Li Jun's first squad to supervise the construction site of the military academy and report to him regularly; Wang Peng's second squad of 100 people served as his escort and retinue, ready to be dispatched by him at any time; Zhang Lu's third squad is temporarily training in the Fenwu Camp and is ready to follow their own calls.

The hardware construction of the military academy is proceeding in an orderly manner, while Zhu Youzhen is busy compiling teaching materials and designing professional designs within the military academy.

According to Zhu Youzhen's idea, military academies should not only set up officer classes, but also staff classes, mainly to analyze information on possible opponents at home and abroad and provide reference opinions for the army's operations. Set up an interrogation class to collect information about your opponents.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Only by understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent can we adopt corresponding tactics according to the specific situation. This is the biggest weakness of the Ming Dynasty now, the Ming Dynasty has always only attached importance to internal supervision, but ignores the external threat, Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory, are all tools for the supervision of domestic officials, and for foreign countries, even if it is a vassal state, the Ming Dynasty has neither garrisons nor embassies, and the understanding of foreign countries is completely the initiative of the other party to make a statement.

Zhu Youzhen, an instructor in the army, plans to obtain Zhu Youxiao's consent to let retired officers, especially retired officers with military merits, serve as probationary instructors, and then transfer some officers from the Fenwu Battalion to serve as probationary instructors. In order to prevent some officers from teaching only by experience, rather than incorporating their own guiding ideology into their teaching, all instructors are appointed for a period of three months.
