(

On the first day of April in the first year of Xuande, the colorful flags of the Wutang were displayed, the gongs and drums were noisy, and there was a joyful scene.

Today, the lecture hall will hold a grand opening ceremony, which means that the lecture hall will officially become a yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and will appear on the stage of history since then.

The first phase of the lecture hall has been completed, and at this time it has begun to take shape, with dormitories, teaching houses, study halls, martial arts arenas and other facilities readily available, enough to accommodate more than 800 students to engage in their studies in it.

At this moment, there was an aura of slaughter in the martial arts arena of the martial arts hall, and four hundred and fifty-seven preparatory students wearing black "colored" military uniforms and cylindrical large-brimmed hats stood in line under the leadership of their respective instructors, all with solemn expressions and silent expressions, and there was an irrepressible excitement in their eyes.

They had already received a notice and knew that Emperor Xuande would be coming to the lecture hall today to attend the opening ceremony of the lecture hall, which was an infinitely glorious thing for the lecture hall and these preparatory students.

It is worth mentioning that these preparatory students are wearing the military dress of the lecture hall today, and it is also the court uniform of the lecture hall, which is compared with the regular military uniform, equipped with corsages, badges and armbands, etc., which are both majestic and beautiful, handsome, and eye-catching.

According to the rules of the lecture hall, only those who attend the lecture hall on heavy occasions can wear military uniforms, which are usually regular clothes.

Due to the small number of students in this year's lecture hall, the lecture hall temporarily implements a two-level management system of brigade and squadron.

Among them, a squadron has 5 classes, each class has 10 cadets, a total of 50 people. [31015671 ruling the Ming Dynasty ruling the Ming Dynasty] 310 ruling the Ming Dynasty 313

There are two deputy instructors as squadron leaders, one is the deputy instructor of martial arts, who is responsible for military training, and the other is the deputy instructor of strategy, who is responsible for culture and ideology.

A brigade has 3 squadrons with a total of 150 people, and is also led by two instructors, one is a martial arts instructor who is responsible for military training, and the other is a strategy instructor who is responsible for culture and ideology.

With the formation of squadrons and brigades, a new deputy chief instructor appeared above the deputy instructor and instructor.

Due to Li Yuntian's limited personal energy, he selected an excellent martial arts instructor and an excellent strategy instructor to serve as the deputy chief instructor as his assistant.

As a result, the military ranks of the two deputy chief instructors were promoted to majors, although the military ranks were the same as Li Yuntian, but there was only a silver star in the middle of the top row of the seniority card on their chests, indicating the identity of the two deputies.

The preparatory cadets on the exercise ground gathered together in squadrons, and at the front of each squadron stood two squadron leaders with solemn expressions, who not only wore military rank and seniority badges, but also wore sabers.

If anyone has seen the equipment of the Jinyi Guard, then they can recognize it at a glance, and the waist of these squadron leaders is the embroidered spring knife, a special weapon for the Jinyi Guard, and its oblique blade just matches the military uniform.

At the same time, the gate of the lecture hall was crowded, in addition to Li Yuntian and other instructors and deputy instructors of the lecture hall, cabinet members, military cabinet members, officials of various ministries and courts, and nobles in Beijing all came together, gathered in groups of three or five to chat, talking and laughing.

Li Yuntian, who was dressed in a straight military uniform, stood beside Zhou Zheng, Yang Shiqi and others, and smiled and introduced some things about the martial arts hall to the surrounding nobles who were interested in the martial arts hall.

"It's coming!" In the noise, I don't know who shouted, so people looked up at the street in the direction of the Forbidden City, and the front end of Emperor Xuande's honor guard appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing this situation, the situation that was originally still 'chaotic' and coaxing suddenly quieted down, and the officials on the scene stood in line in an orderly manner according to their respective levels and the customization of the left and the right.

King Fu stood in the center to greet the holy driver, and Li Yuntian held the handle of the embroidered spring knife in his left hand, standing behind him with his head up, looking quite high-spirited.

Although the martial arts hall is still unknown, he believes that the martial arts hall is like a spark, and it will inevitably burn the prairie over time.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" When Emperor Xuande was supported down from the imperial chariot by Jin Ying, the eunuch who was in charge of the celebrant seal, King Fu led the civil and military officials present, knelt down with hula, and shouted in unison.

Li Yuntian, like those ministers, gave Emperor Xuande a kowtow in a proper manner to show his awe. [31015671 ruling the Ming Dynasty ruling the Ming Dynasty] 310 ruling the Ming Dynasty 313

"Zhu Aiqing is flat!" Emperor Xuande smiled slightly, and the void lifted upward.

Subsequently, the civil and military ministers led by King Fu, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and Zhou Zheng surrounded Emperor Xuande into the lecture hall, and came to the martial arts arena to review the preparatory students of the lecture hall standing in line there.

After Emperor Xuande and the ministers sat down, Li Yuntian came to the viewing platform, first saluted Emperor Xuande, and then faced those preparatory students, raised his head and commanded everyone to sing "Loyal to the Monarch and Serving the Country".

"Loyal to the Monarch and Serving the Country" not only ranks first among several military songs in the martial arts hall, but also "loyal to the monarch and serving the country" is also the purpose of the martial arts hall, just like the school motto.

As soon as you enter the gate of the lecture hall, you will see a large stone standing, which is engraved with the four big characters of "loyal to the monarch and serving the country".

I have to admit that Li Yuntian played a cautious trick, he set "loyalty to the monarch and serving the country" as the school motto of the martial arts hall, and he was doing his best to prevent someone from attacking him with this matter in the future.

After all, Li Yuntian presided over the preparation for the establishment of the lecture hall and served as the chief instructor, once the lecture hall rises in the future, then he will inevitably be attacked by some ill-intentioned people, saying that he pretended to be a party and a private business under the pretense of the lecture hall.

Not only the instructors and students of the martial arts hall, but also some nobles and pro-soldiers in charge of the on-site order in the capital also hummed softly in their mouths "Loyal to the Monarch to Serve the Country", this impassioned military song has been spread all over the capital at this time, and is deeply liked by the Beijing army and pro-army sergeants, and is widely sung.

The corners of Emperor Xuande's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and the military songs of the martial arts hall were approved by him, so he was the first person in the court to know this song "Loyal to the Monarch and Serving the Country", and he was very satisfied with this song, which not only inspired the morale of the soldiers, but also reminded them that they were the emperor's courtiers, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

After the song ended, Li Yuntian waved his hand, and the squadron leaders of each squadron shouted the trumpet, trotting all the way to lead their respective teams to retreat, and the martial arts arena of Nuoda was soon empty.

Soon, a square team of more than 100 people appeared in front of the viewing platform, and the students in the team all carried a spear in their hands, and practiced the gun dance to the murderous and majestic drums.

After the re-examination of Beizhili's martial arts, the admitted students of Beizhili entered the lecture hall for training to welcome the opening ceremony of the lecture hall.

After more than a month of training, these spear dancers were selected from among them, and after more than a month of training, they danced with the spears in their hands.

The officials present enjoyed the uniform and majestic gun dance with great interest, and whispered while watching, no one thought that Li Yuntian would be able to take care of the lecture hall so well without Zhou Zheng intervening.

Lu Zhongqian looked at Li Yuntian, who was standing in front of the viewing platform and directing the spear dance students in the phalanx, and he didn't know why, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Based on Lu Zhongqian's understanding of Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian is a capable and capable person, so he will definitely not do those things that are big and unreal and empty.

However, this time, Li Yuntian prepared to build a martial arts hall, which not only made Emperor Xuande adopt a new martial arts system to select talents, but also held a martial arts examination in the south and north of Zhili with great fanfare, recruiting nearly 500 people at once, and there was definitely another plan.

Since becoming the left deputy governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, Lu Zhongqian's whole person has become idle and has a lot of time to think about things.

Lu Zhongqian can have today's power, and he is naturally not an idle person, otherwise how could the King of Han value him so much?

After Lu Zhongqian's careful consideration, he was stunned and came to a seemingly absurd conclusion, that is, the lecture martial arts hall was aimed at the military system of Emperor Hongwu.

The reason is very simple, Li Yuntian recruited nearly five hundred students for the first time, which is more than the number of martial artists admitted since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and how to place so many people in the future has obviously become a big problem, even the military pavilion cannot accommodate so many people.

In addition to the military cabinet, those people can only be arranged in the major governors' offices, but the positions of the major governors and the yamen of the various capitals are one radish and one pit, and the establishment is full, and the military positions below 1,000 households in the subordinate guards are hereditary, and there is no place to place them at all.

In this way, it is impossible for those people to enter the guards of the major governors' palaces, unless they veto Emperor Hongwu's cantonment system, but this is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Not to mention Emperor Hongwu's eloquence and strategy, no one dared to move the designated military system, and these nobles in the capital alone would first stand up against it.

Because the cantonment system is closely related to their own interests, the hereditary officers of those guards are their old subordinates, how can they watch Li Yuntian snatch food and use the military power of those old subordinates?

Could it be that as it is rumored in the market, after those students of the martial arts hall have passed the "final examination" of the martial arts hall, Emperor Xuande will set up a forbidden army, and those students are the backbone of the forbidden army.

As the king of a country, it was easy for Emperor Xuande to set up a few guards, so it was enough to accommodate those students.

However, in Lu Zhongqian's opinion, Li Yuntian recruited too many students in the south and north this time.

These trainees were different from those officers of the Daming Guard, and like the officials of the various prefectures, they were all military attaches who received money from the imperial court, which would undoubtedly be a huge expense.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty implemented a military system, and the soldiers were all military households that had been in the army for generations, unlike those civilian households, when recruiting soldiers, it was military households rather than civilian households.

If Emperor Xuande wanted to re-establish the guards, he had to draw a part of the military households of the Beijing army and the pro-army troops stationed in the capital to make up the military households that formed the newly built guards.

In this way, except for the first batch of students in the martial arts hall, the future students will not be able to be placed, because the number of military households in the Ming Dynasty is so large, and it is difficult for Emperor Xuande to draw excess military households from other guards.

According to the current situation, if the lecture hall does not change the system, it can only recruit one session of students at most, which is why the outside world says that Emperor Xuande is very happy, because the enrollment of the second batch of students will be far away.

If Lu Zhongqian is not mistaken, Li Yuntian promised that those candidates who failed the list would give a result of the martial arts examination after three years.

Although many people think that this is just Li Yuntian's perfunctory words, Lu Zhongqian is very concerned, he thinks that Li Yuntian is a very cautious and sophisticated person, and he should not say this for no reason.

It is a pity that the name of the Jiangwutang is not well known now, and Emperor Xuande has not yet controlled the situation of the court, including Lu Zhongqian, people have not realized the true intention of Li Yuntian to prepare for the establishment of the Jiangwutang, and no one would have expected that Li Yuntian's purpose would be to organize and train a new army, and gradually replace the cantonment system with the compulsory military system and the conscription system
