Hearing Yang Yiqing mention that military generals will also oppose the establishment of military schools, Zhengde and others were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, the position of military generals in the Ming Dynasty is also hereditary, if the military academy is established, then in the future, these trained generals will definitely compete for positions with the old-style generals, and even completely exclude those old-style generals from the army, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among those generals, so Yang Yiqing will say that the generals will also oppose the military school.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to solve, the last general also has several sons, the eldest son has reached adulthood, and now he is serving in the army, and he is doing a very good job, and now he has been promoted to a thousand households, I am afraid that he will not take over my class in the future, the remaining three sons are not yet adults, the last general feels that he can send them all to the military academy, and whoever does the best job in the future will be able to inherit the position of the last general, and the rest will be able to support themselves in the army in the future, even if they are not successful, I am afraid that they will be able to support themselves in the army in the future!" At this time, Qiu Yue said with a smile, he is also a military general, so he naturally understands the psychology of military generals, and the military academy is only for the purpose of training generals for the army, and there is no restriction on the identity of the cadets who enter, so they can naturally send their own heirs to it as soon as possible, so that they don't have to worry about being robbed of their positions by others.

Regarding Qiu Yue's words, Zhang Yong also said with a smile: "Yes, yes, General Qiu's words are to the point, anyway, the military academy trains generals, and the recruits naturally have to give priority to the generals in the army, but since those generals dare to send their children and grandchildren to the military academy, they must be prepared to let their children and grandchildren endure hardships, the military academy is a place to train the future generals of the empire, but not a place for them to fight dogs, so the management must be strictly grasped." Any student who dares to violate the rules of the military school. No matter where he came from. Don't let it go easily! ”

Zhang Yong used to be a military supervisor, and he was in charge of the military discipline of those generals and soldiers, so he had a deep understanding of discipline. Although most of the prison army only collects money and then turns a blind eye to the affairs of the army, Zhang Yong is different from other eunuchs, he has always paid close attention to military discipline when he was a prison army, such as when King Anhua rebelled, after Yang Yiqing's army entered Ningxia. It was because of Zhang Yong's restraint that he did not cause much loss to the local people.

"Hahaha~, seeing that everyone is working together for the military academy, making the concept of the military school more and more perfect, I believe that when the military academy begins to be built in the future, there will be many fewer problems, which makes me very pleased!" Zhengde saw that Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing all started to use their brains for the affairs of the military academy, which made him very excited, and believed that with Yang Yiqing, a capable minister, he was presiding, plus Zhang Yong and Qiu Yue on the side. The most important thing is that there is the support of the emperor himself, and I believe that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can hinder the opening of the military academy.

Just when Zhengde convened everyone to discuss the affairs of the military academy. Li Dongyang, who had already seen Zhou Chong's performance before, was also worried about this matter, but his attitude was completely different from that of Yang Yiqing, because Li Dongyang was resolutely opposed to the establishment of a military academy, and another important member of the cabinet, that is, Yang Tinghe, who he trained as the successor of the first assistant, also held the same attitude.

"Li Gong, Zhou Chong is becoming more and more disagreeable now, and he even proposed such an absurd thing as opening a military school, but with His Majesty's temper, I'm afraid this proposal will be very appetizing to His Majesty's Majesty, if nothing else, His Majesty will definitely agree, if we don't want to stop it, I'm afraid we can only watch the military school open!" In the study of Li Dongyang's mansion, Yang Tinghe said very anxiously while walking back and forth in the study.

"Well, since Zhou Chong became an official, he has indeed become more and more presumptuous, this time he actually came up with such a thing from the military academy to please His Majesty, it is simply a child's play with the affairs of the imperial court, it seems that we were still too tolerant of Zhou Chong before!" The old Li Dongyang also stroked his white beard and said.

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe opposed the establishment of military academies not only because they feared that the generals would unite again and thus threaten the interests of the civilian clique, but also because they had their own reasons for insisting.

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are both pure civil ministers, which is different from Yang Yiqing, at least Yang Yiqing has held an official position in the northwest for many years, and he has personally led soldiers to fight, and has a clear understanding of the armament situation of the Ming Dynasty, which Li Dongyang and the two cannot compare with Yang Yiqing, at least they have always firmly believed that the military generals must not have the same status as the civilian officials, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be a mess sooner or later by these military generals. But it laid the root of civil strife later.

Although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe's positions are higher than Yang Yiqing's, they do not see as clearly as Yang Yiqing's military situation in the Ming Dynasty, and their concept of emphasizing literature over military force has long been deeply rooted, even if others put the facts in front of them, I am afraid it will not be easy to convince them, this is the difference in concept, and it is not something that can be changed in a short period of time at all.

"Gong Li, now that Zhou Chong's recital has been sent to the palace, His Majesty must have seen it, and I just received the news that Brother Ying Ning, who is working in the Ministry of War, suddenly received a summons from His Majesty, and now people have entered the palace, and there are also Xianning Hou Qiu Yue, who commanded the three thousand battalions, and I heard that Zhang Yong of the palace also went to the leopard room, these three people are all people who know the soldiers, but at this critical moment, they were summoned to the leopard room by His Majesty, do you think they will be summoned by His Majesty to discuss the affairs of the military academy?" Yang Ting calmed down his excitement and told the news he had just received.

When Li Dongyang heard that Yang Yiqing was also summoned into the palace, his face changed at that time, and he finally spoke after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty summoned a general and a military secretary into the palace, and there is also a Zhang Yong, who has been a supervisor of the army, and it happens that Zhou Chong's performance has just been sent to the palace, it seems that nine times out of ten it is to discuss the matter of the military academy, among which Zhang Yong and Qiu Yue are just that, I am worried that he should be ......."

When Li Dongyang said that the last thing was the last, the whole person stood there and muttered, and Yang Tinghe said a little strangely when he saw this: "Why, is Gong Li worried that Brother Ying Ning will oppose the military academy in front of His Majesty, so as to conflict with His Majesty?" ”

Although Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing were officials in the same dynasty, he and Yang Yiqing were only familiar with each other, not a deep friendship, and he didn't know Yang Yiqing very well, but he stood in his own position, and took it for granted that Yang Yiqing would stand on the side of civil officials, and Yang Yiqing had a stubborn personality, maybe he would clash with His Majesty the Emperor because of his insistence on opposing the military academy.

However, Li Dongyang heard this and said with a wry smile: "Jiefu, you still don't know enough about Ying Ning, although Ying Ning is also a Jinshi, but he has been serving in the northwest since he was twenty years old, and even personally led the soldiers, in his bones, he is more like a military general than like a Wenchen, and he has always felt that there is a problem with the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and he has discussed the reform of the military system of the Ming Dynasty many times, but unfortunately he himself can't come up with a complete charter, and now the emergence of the new thing of the military academy, I'm worried that Ying Ning will feel that this is a good opportunity to reform the Ming military system, and thus make some unwise decisions. ”

I have to say that Li Dongyang is worthy of being an old friend who has been friends with Yang Yiqing for many years, and he is very clear about what Yang Yiqing thinks, and he immediately guessed that Yang Yiqing might choose to support the opening of a military school, if this is really the case, then Yang Yiqing has betrayed the entire civilian official group, as the leader of the civilian official group, Li Dongyang is very distressed about how to get along with Yang Yiqing in the future?

"No, if Ying Ning chooses to support the military academy, then he will offend all the ministers, and he won't want to gain a foothold in the court in the future, does he really have the slightest scruples?" After Yang Tinghe heard Li Dongyang's words, he also shouted in surprise, he really didn't expect that Yang Yiqing, who was a civilian official, would support the establishment of a military academy.

"Alas, Jiefu, you don't know much about Ning, although I have been friends with him for many years, but there are some differences in political opinions, such as the military system of the Ming Dynasty, he has always felt very dissatisfied, and even thinks that if it continues like this, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will lose the country in the future, so I have always wanted to reform the Ming military system and the imperial court, although I have persuaded him many times, but I have not been able to persuade him to change his opinion, fortunately he has not been able to find a way to reform the army, which has not been started, and now there is an opportunity for the military academy, I'm afraid he will support the military academy desperately, even if he is ruined for it! ”

Li Dongyang sighed again at this time and said, he was still a little unsure just now, but now after his own analysis, this makes Li Dongyang already sure that after Yang Yiqing enters the palace this time, I am afraid that when he comes out again, he will walk on a completely opposite path with the ministers in the court, although this road is very bitter and lonely, but he will always insist on going forward, and he will definitely not regret it, because he is Yang Yiqing.

"How so?" Yang Tinghe once again had some incredible words, he obviously couldn't understand Yang Yiqing's thoughts, after all, they originally had essential differences in thought, especially in the treatment of the Ming military system, although Yang Tinghe also knew that there were certain problems with the military system of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not think that these problems were caused by the civilian officials suppressing the generals too strongly, but felt that those generals were unruly and did not cooperate with the command of the civilian officials to cause chaos in the army.

"Gong Li, if Brother Ying Ning really chooses to support the construction of the military academy, it will definitely not be a good thing for us, after all, he is the secretary of the military department, and the military academy should belong to their military department, how can we prevent this from happening then?" Yang Tinghe asked again at this time. (To be continued......)
