"陛xià, a piece from Guangdong." Since Wei Zhongxian's resignation, Zhang Yixian has become the chief supervisor of the Si Li Bingbi, replacing Wei Zhongxian, taking charge of the jade seal for Zhu Youzhen, and transmitting the ministers' recitals. Zhang Yixian is not as good as Wei Zhongxian, nor is he as delicate as Xu Yingyuan, and he is almost wooden when he was a child, but only in this way did Zhu Youzhen rest assured that he would put the jade seal in charge.

Zhu Youzhen temporarily dismissed the cabinet, and there was one less resistance in his reform, but there was no cabinet to approve the medal, and Zhu Youzhen had to personally approve it.

However, Zhu Youzhen classified the chapters, and according to the specific content of the chapters, the six scholars dealt with them separately, and they only sent the chapters to Zhu Youzhen when they encountered things that could not be solved or decided.

"Yi Xian, what's the matter? Can't the scholars handle it? ”

"Your Majesty, the scholars said that they can't be the master, and I hope Your Majesty will make it clear." Zhang Yixian handed a stack of concertos to Zhu Youzhen.

There are two cantatas.

One is the recital of the governor of Liangguang. The Ministry of War ordered the formation of the South China Sea Fleet in Guangzhou, but the navy of the Ming Dynasty had been decadent for many years, and there were no ships in the south that could go to sea, and there were no talents who could train the navy.

The other is the cantata of the governor of Guangdong. Xu Guangqi, a native of Nanzhili, opened a private school in Guangzhou, recruiting children, learning foreign languages, and promoting Catholicism.

"Xu Guangqi?" Zhu Youzhen silently muttered, this is the most famous scientist, mathematician, military strategist, agronocist and water conservancy expert in the Ming Dynasty, not only translated the Western mathematical treatise "Geometric Original", but also introduced physics, chemistry, geography and other disciplines, he could not find anyone with a lantern, if it was not for the Guangdong governor's recital, he would have completely forgotten him.

"Yi Xian, go back to the Qianqing Palace immediately." Zhu Youzhen no longer had the interest in playing encounters, he walked quickly and returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen paced back and forth in the upper study alone.

The matter of the South China Sea Fleet is not difficult to solve, there are no ships, they can be manufactured, let Li Chunye find out the drawings of the construction of the big treasure ship, and you can also buy it from the merchants along the coast; There are no officials familiar with the Navy, and it is possible to give proper support to the North Sea Fleet in Dengzhou, which has been secretly formed for two and a half years and should have some surplus talent.

The key is Xu Guangqi.

Daming has just begun to feather, and scientific and technological talents like Xu Guangqi are too precious, how can the energy in his body be tapped to the maximum extent, so that Daming has thousands of Xu Guangqi......

School.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized.

This is the fastest way to train talent in large quantities.

Zhu Youzhen quickly calculated in his mind that the cabinet had been abolished, the six ministries had been settled, and the problem was the conditions needed to establish the school.

The first is the faculty. Xu Guangqi should have a group of teachers in the Guangzhou Private School Center, and he can also hire a group of missionaries from all over the country, and then recruit a group of lonely science and technology enthusiasts like Xu Guangqi from China.

The second is the venue. Now it is too long to build a school from scratch, it is better to buy a wide house directly, properly renovate it, as a school, in case it doesn't work, you can also take out the idle palaces in the palace, especially the harem, now the east and west six palaces are idle.

Again, the textbook. Classes need special textbooks, which must be handed over to people like Xu Guangqi who have a certain understanding of science and technology, and when necessary, Zhu Youzhen is ready to personally participate in the examination and approval of the textbooks.

Finally, there are the cadets. Daming has a large number of talents and unambitious people, let them study in school, not only to promote the development of Daming technology, but also to find a way for them to make a living. However, Zhu Youzhen considered that older people were rather rigid in their thinking and found it difficult to accept new things, so he temporarily set the age of the trainees at under 25.

Zhu Youzhen wrote and drew on paper, and finally finalized various drafts. Originally, it was more appropriate to set up a school and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites or Guozijian, but now Li Chunye knows and understands Zhu Youzhen best, so Zhu Youzhen is ready to hand it over to the Ministry of War, and the other ministries will give full support within their respective responsibilities, especially the financial support of the Ministry of Households.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen ordered Liu Lin to send two letters to Guangdong Feigeon.

One letter to Xu Guangqi.

Zhu Youzhen advocated that Xu Guangqi bring his family, books, talents, and even students who were willing to come to Beijing as students, and that the governor of Guangdong should provide carriages and horses to come to Beijing immediately, and Zhu Youzhen promised to provide Xu Guangqi with the best conditions for running the school.

The other was addressed to the governor of Guangdong.

Zhu Youzhen ordered him to arrange the best carriage and horse for Xu Guangqi, if Xu Guangqi had three longs and two shorts, or was unwilling to come to Beijing, then he, the governor of Guangdong, could also send soldiers back to the field.

In February of the first year of Chongzhen (1628 AD), Xu Guangqi and his entourage finally came to Beijing.

Zhu Youzhen fulfilled his promise, he provided Xu Guangqi with a convenient condition, and the Ministry of Industry found a huge idle mansion for Xu Guangqi in the northeast corner of the Beijing Division, so that Xu Guangqi could form the Daming Academy of Sciences.

Almost at the same time, the reorganization of the newly formed Seventh and Eighth Armies was completed.

In April, the reorganization of the newly organized First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, the First Royal Army, and the Second Royal Army was completed, and actual combat exercises were carried out in an all-round way.

In May, the reorganization of the newly formed Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Armies was completed.

At this point, the reorganization of the Beijing Division Army was completed, and more than 300,000 troops were reorganized into ten armies, of which the Royal First Army and the Royal Second Army were Zhu Youzhen's pro-army, and they were only controlled by Zhu Youzhen.

At the end of June, the Daming Academy of Sciences officially began to enroll students, and Xu Guangqi served as the first president of the Daming Academy of Sciences.

According to Zhu Youjian's opinion, the Academy of Sciences has set up mathematics classes, geography classes, chemistry classes, physics classes, biology classes, medicine and health classes, and so on.

The duration of study is one year and two years.

In Zhu Youzhen's vision, the one-year crash course is mainly to train teachers in science, and in the future, science and technology colleges will be set up in the five northern provinces, and graduates of the crash course will mainly become teachers of these science and technology colleges.

The two-year intensive course is the only way to train real scientific and technological talents, and these graduates will not go out to become officials, but will stay at the Academy of Sciences to conduct research work, or enter factories, research and development institutes of the Firearms Bureau, or enter Zhu Youjian's private enterprises.

In order to expand the influence of the Academy of Sciences, change Shilin's understanding of science, and attract more faculty and students, Zhu Youzhen decided that he would personally give lectures to the Academy of Sciences at an appropriate time.

On 2 July, the newly formed First Army, Second Army, and Third Army were about to leave the Beijing Division and leave for Shanhaiguan to replace Ma Shilong, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. After the new army arrived at Shanhaiguan, Ma Shilong's 100,000 Liaodong Army would withdraw to Beijing and be reorganized.

Zhu Youzhen made it clear that both the Second Army and the Third Army would accept the control of Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the First Army, and that after arriving at Shanhaiguan, the three armies would also accept Sun Chengzong's governorship.

Zhu Youzhen personally went to Dongzhimen to see off Yuan Chonghuan.

"General Yuan, neither the combat effectiveness of the new army nor firearms has been tested on the battlefield, so don't venture for military merits."

"Your Majesty, the minister understands. The ministers first tested with a small army, and after becoming familiar with and adapting to Jiannu, they gradually recovered Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Guangning. Yuan Chonghuan's heart had already flown to Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at the soldiers who were ready to go, "Chonghuan, it doesn't matter if you can recover these cities, the important thing is to let the soldiers get the training of the war, as long as there is a strong army, Liaodong will return to Daming sooner or later." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yuan Chonghuan's gaze gradually moved to the north as the soldiers lined up.

"Haha, I'm going to be verbose again, General Yuan is annoyed, right? Alright, let's go! ”

"I don't dare." Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said to the heralds: "Raise the army." ”

The front army galloped rapidly, and the sound of horses' hooves fell on the concrete pavement like a torrential sound, making a dull sound.

The number of 100,000 troops was so large that the Second Army delayed its departure for half a day and did not leave until the afternoon, while the Third Army would not leave Beijing until midnight.

On July 4, Yuan Chonghuan came to Shanhaiguan.

The south side of Shanhaiguan is far less dangerous than the north side, but it is also very thick, the tall city wall towers over the sky, the mountains on the left side show a majestic clear shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun, it is the east wind now, Yuan Chonghuan rubbed his nose, as if smelling the smell of the sea blowing on the sea surface of Bohai Bay.

He was excited, raised his hooves and ran a few laps in front of Shanhaiguan, Liaodong, I Yuan Chonghuan is back; Jiannu, I, Yuan Chonghuan, am no longer the turtle general who could only shrink in the city in the past.

After the gatekeeper checked the documents, he let Yuan Chonghuan enter the customs, but his soldiers could only camp in front of the pass, and there was no room for his 30,000 troops in Shanhaiguan.

Sun Chengzong personally bought wine, picked up the wind for Yuan Chonghuan, and also saw off Ma Shilong by the way.

"Chonghuan, Your Majesty said, let the old man guard the mountain customs for two years, and now the year has not arrived, why is your new army coming? Could it be that His Majesty can't trust the old man? "Yuan Chonghuan is a descendant cultivated by Sun Chengzong, and he is his direct confidant, and in front of Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong is not polite.

Yuan Chonghuan clasped his fists and saluted Sun Chengzong: "My lord, the last general is just to replace General Ma, and His Majesty will let General Ma take the soldiers back to Beijing for rectification, and the adult is still the governor of Jiliao, and the last general is also subject to the control of the adult." ”

"Haha, the old man also said that his majesty was worried that my old bones had missed a major military event. Haha, haha, drink. ”

"General Yuan, I see that your subordinates are all firearms, and only the short knife hangs from the waist......" Ma Shilong believes that hand-to-hand combat is the most basic skill in fighting Jiannu, and the short knife does not have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

"General Soldier Ma, my subordinates will not fight hand-to-hand with Jiannu, I don't know if General Soldier Ma has noticed, my subordinates have no armor at all."

Chonghuan ...... If you don't fight hand-to-hand with Jiannu, then what are you doing in Shanhaiguan? Sun Chengzong was also puzzled, could it be that just listening to the name of the new army could scare off Jiannu and recover Liaodong?

Yuan Chonghuan saluted again: "My lord, my soldiers all use new firearms, called Bi's flintlock pistols, with a range of more than 100 paces - there is no need to fight Jiannu hand-to-hand. ”

"Hundred steps? Isn't that more than the range of the Jiannu bow and arrow? Ma Shilong's eyes widened wider than the wine bottle in his hand.

Sun Chengzong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Chonghuan carefully: "Chonghuan, are you saying that your soldiers can hit Jiannu, but Jiannu's bows and arrows can't hurt you?" ”

"Exactly."

"No wonder His Majesty said that as long as the old man guards the mountain customs for two years, it turns out that His Majesty has already prepared." Sun Chengzong also hugged his fists, but instead of saluting Yuan Chonghuan, he turned sideways to the south and saluted Zhu Youzhen.

"General Yuan, is the new firearm really so amazing?" Where is Ma Shilong willing to believe, the most elite firearms of the Ming Dynasty are in Liaodong, and the best three-eyed guns have a range of only thirty steps, which is not comparable to the range of Jiannu's bow and arrow.

"It's late today, and tomorrow, I'll let the soldiers demonstrate it in public." Yuan Chonghuan laughed secretly, don't say it's you, I didn't believe it at the beginning.

"The old man wants to see it too." Sun Chengzong was also skeptical, unless he saw it with his own eyes, he didn't believe it.
