On the construction site of the military academy, the craftsmen have been able to build the wall with red bricks according to Zhu Youzhen's requirements, and Zhu Youzhen will make necessary additions, such as how to measure the horizontal line of the wall and how to check whether the wall is perpendicular to the ground with overhangs.

In less than an afternoon, the wall can be built to the height of more than one person. Looking at the brand-new red wall, the craftsmen couldn't even believe themselves.

"Keep up your efforts, and this one of yours will be able to finish faster than the first one. In addition, the carpentry team has to work harder, otherwise the construction period will be delayed, and the king will not have the salary to go home for the New Year. "The wisdom of the working people is endless, and the craftsmen learn quickly. The speed of building the wall is fast, and the progress of the original carpentry group may not be able to keep up, but Zhu Youzhen is not omnipotent, he cannot improve the efficiency of carpentry, so he has to increase the number of carpenters.

The speed of construction of the house will increase, and the time for the completion of the military school will be brought forward. Zhu Youzhen estimated that the military academy will be fully completed in February and March of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and classes will officially be able to start teaching. It seems that he is going to the military department again, and the matter of letting them send officers from various places for training must be implemented before the end of the year.

Zhu Youzhen had breakfast, and instead of taking Wang Mujiu out in a hurry as usual, he walked around the mansion, which made Wan'er very curious.

"Your Highness, after breakfast on weekdays, I disappeared. Why do you have time to wander around the house today, isn't there something wrong in the house? ”

"Ah, no. In the past, I was too busy with official business, so I didn't have time to look at the scenery in the house. I'm going to the military department today, but Lord Shangshu definitely didn't come back early, and it's too early to go now, so stay for a while, and I'm waiting in the military department if I go early. "Zhu Youzhen is now like a clockwork machine, and this half-day of leisure was stolen by Li Chunye, because Li Chunye did not go down to the court.

"It's already autumn, and the flowers and plants are almost gone. What is the view of Your Highness? "Wan'er still doesn't know Zhu Youzhen, he just rests for a while, it's really beautiful, he doesn't have time to see it!

"It's good to see the Western scenery." Zhu Youzhen smiled wickedly and looked at the maid whose eyes widened.

"Western view?" Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Youzhen's face, from the evil smile on his face, and the eyes looking at places that shouldn't be looking, Wan'er vaguely knew the meaning of the Western scenery. "Your Highness." Wan'er sneered.

"Wan'er, you are so cute, and you take very good care of me, if I don't have you in my eyes, is there any reason?" Zhu Youzhen was strong, and his big hand took Wan'er's little hand and gently stroked her delicate softness.

"It is Wan'er's duty to serve His Highness." Wan'er twitched her hand vigorously, and when she saw that she couldn't pull it, she pulled it. "His Royal Highness is about to marry the princess, and you still have to pull Wan'er?"

"Feng'er is a sensible person, demure and tolerant, when he sees you, he must like Wan'er as much as I do." Zhu Youzhen knew Wan'er's thoughts, so he comforted her, and besides, he was reluctant to let this intimate little padded jacket be hurt.

After lingering with Wan'er for a while, Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood, and he took Wang Mujiu out of the house and went to the military department to see Li Chunye.

"Your Highness, sit down. The old minister has just returned from the court. Li Chunye bowed.

"Lord Shangshu is welcome." Zhu Youzhen returned the salute, and then sat down on the main seat. Li Chunye's personal guards sent good tea.

"Your Highness, what are you usually working on? Why do you have time to sit in the military headquarters today? Li Chunye knew that Zhu Youzhen was a busy man, and he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and when he came to the military department, he must have something to do with himself.

"Lord Shangshu, let me talk about the military academy. It is estimated that the construction of the military academy's site and houses will be completed in February and March next year. It is time to make early preparations for the dispatch of officers from various localities to study at the school. "Zhu Youzhen is in charge of preparing for the establishment of a military academy, but the transfer of officers to the academy must be ordered by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"Completed in February or March? How many people are your Highness going to transfer? But I heard that the first house had not yet been completed. "Li Chunye, the secretary of the military department, really doesn't eat dry food, and he knows the progress of the construction of the military academy well.

"Lord Shangshu, I now use the red brick wall produced by the brick kiln factory, and the speed is several times faster than the original bluestone wall. The second and third houses will definitely be completed before the first. "Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to show off his skills, his skills have already been seen by many people, and there is no need to show off. Building a house with red bricks, similar to the assembly line production of a factory, naturally increases the speed considerably. Therefore, the matter of transferring officers must be put on the agenda, and some officers are far away from the Beijing Division, and now there are no cars for future generations, and the road must rely on their legs, at most they can only ride a horse or something, and it takes a lot of time on the road.

"Red brick wall, really so fast? Will there be a problem with the quality of the house? It can't be a one-off house, right? Although Li Chunye had heard that Zhu Youzhen had made cement and red bricks, and that he could train soldiers, especially that separate conversation with Zhu Youzhen in the military department, which made him admire Zhu Youzhen so much, he had already decided to follow Zhu Youzhen in this life. But to complete the construction of so many houses in just a few months, he really didn't believe it.

"How dare the juniors deceive Lord Shangshu?" Zhu Youzhen really didn't want this curious Lord Shangshu not to be shocked by his red bricks.

"Alright, let's discuss the transfer of officers first. Zhao Yan, Ming Tai, you also come over to get ideas, I will go to see the military academy in a while. "Li Chunye's style is clearly divided between public and private, and the matter of selecting officers must be decided collectively.

Zhao Yan and Yan Mingtai, the left and right attendants of the Ministry of War, also participated in the discussion.

"Your Highness, tell me first, how many officers can the military academy withstand?" Zhu Youzhen was in charge of the preparation for the construction of the military academy, and Li Chunye didn't know why he had to prepare for the construction of the military academy.

"Lord Shangshu, two squires, I have a preliminary idea of transferring 300 officers from all over the country to form an officer class, mainly teaching new training methods and new training syllabuses. Due to the relatively high military pressure of the northern Jiannu and the Mongols, can the officers of the five northern provinces be given priority? The armies of the five northern provinces are relatively close to the Beijing division and can be quickly transferred to the northern front, so the rectification of the armies of the five northern provinces is the focus of the current military academy training.

"The five northern provinces? But Shaanxi confronted Tatar across the Great Wall. If the officers of Shaanxi were transferred, once the Tatars invaded, the soldiers without officers would not be able to fight. Let's train the officers of the Beijing division first. The 5th Military Battalion, the 3,000th Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion can all transfer officers.

"Lord Shangshu, after the rectification of General Qin Yongnian, the Shandong soldiers should have taken shape by then, and some Shandong officers can be mobilized to enter the military academy for training." Zhu Youzhen knew that the Ming Dynasty had more than 2 million troops and soldiers, and it was impossible to accomplish it in a day, so he was in line with the idea of training and perfecting a group of troops and letting new training methods take root in the army. Qin Yongnian was well aware of the training methods of the Fenwu battalion, and with the admission of middle- and lower-level officers to the school, the Shandong soldiers in the future would definitely not be weaker than the Beijing division army.

"Well, after His Highness allocates the specific quota, it will be handed over to the Ministry of War for consideration." Li Chunye also knew that Zhu Youzhen was planning to do things in Shandong, and of course he agreed to Zhu Youzhen's request in principle.

"So how long is the training?" Zhao Yan's question was to the point.

"The initial period is scheduled to be three months, and after three months, the next batch of officers will be replaced." Zhu Youzhen already had an idea, and he knew Zhao Yan's problem.

"Three months? Profound...... That's three months! Li Chunye originally thought that three months was too little, but thinking that Zhu Youzhen's training of the Fenwu Battalion would only take three months, and he would be able to make the Fenwu Battalion run long distances to Shandong and annihilate all the Japanese invaders, so he agreed to Zhu Youzhen's suggestion.

"What is the content of the training?" Yan Mingtai tilted his head, if Zhu Youzhen hadn't believed in the king, he would definitely not support these perverted military ideas of unknown origin.

"The general officer class mainly learns the ideological style of soldiers, the training methods of soldiers, and the coordinated operation of cavalry and infantry. I have already prepared a preliminary teaching material. Although much of the content is based on the training experience of the army in later generations, it is still very complicated to form systematic knowledge and use it as a teaching material for officers to study.

"Then what does Your Highness mean, in addition to the officer class, there are other classes?" Yan Mingtai's heart was more meticulous, and he heard Zhu Youzhen's off-string sound.

"That's what I'm going to report to you." Zhu Youzhen thought that sooner or later he would have to take it out, and he must get the support of these bigwigs of the military department, otherwise, it would be a problem whether or not there were cadets coming to the military academy. "In addition to the general officer class, I also plan to set up the following classes: 1. Staff class. In the future, more than 1,000 households will set up staff offices. The duty of the General Staff Department is to collect military information on the armies of both the enemy and us, analyze it, and propose a combat plan for the officers of the army to choose. In today's armed forces, it is all about officers collecting information and making plans for military operations. An individual's energy is limited, and the so-called incompetence of one general will exhaust the three armies. We cannot guarantee that every officer is good, and even good officers can be misjudged. The General Staff can make up for the shortcomings of this one-person system. Of course, the General Staff only proposes a combat plan, and in the end it is the right of the officers to choose which plan to choose, or none of them. But I believe that in the face of a detailed analysis of the military situation, officers are far less likely to make the wrong choice. Zhu Youzhen did it in one go, and sold the staff he understood to Li Chunye and them. After finishing speaking, Zhu Youzhen winked at them, which meant that don't forget, when I first entered the Fenwu camp, I started as a staff officer at the battalion headquarters.

Li Chunye recalled Zhu Youzhen's outlook for Daming, and found that what Zhu Youzhen is doing now is all related to Daming's layout. Zhu Youzhen's approach and thoughts, the results are not yet known, but no matter what the result is, Zhu Youzhen is focusing on the future of the Ming Dynasty, not to attract attention.

For the old and weak Daming, Li Chunye believes that he has no changed power, courage, courage and sacrifice to change the Ming Dynasty, and he still chooses to believe in Zhu Youzhen.

Zhao Yan's words to Zhu Youzhen still needed time to chew on, and he didn't say anything. Only Yan Mingtai asked: "Your Highness, if the officers can't choose the plan proposed by the General Staff, then what the General Staff has done is not a waste of manpower and material resources?" ”
