8-4 Kyoshi Lecture Martial Hall

Liu Ziguang always felt that the name Lin Ruhai was a little impressed, and asked Sun Gang, only to know that Lin Ruhai was the son-in-law of the former Jiangnan weaving envoy Cao Yin, who had served as the salt inspector of Haizhou.

Lin Ruhai is the champion of the previous dynasty, only to learn that is not to say, the appearance is born a table of talents, once known as the first beautiful man in the capital, how many high-ranking officials and dignitaries want to recruit him as a son-in-law, in the end it is Jiangnan weaving Cao Lord came out on top, it is also a coincidence, Lin Ruhai is dressed in red and hung colors, when he was praising officials in the street, he happened to meet the lady of Cao's house throwing hydrangea to recruit relatives, and the people on the street were hitting Lin Zhuangyuan's head, so he achieved a good thing.

Cao Yin's daughter is named Cao Min, born with a sinking fish and a wild goose, and a shy flower in the closed month, the old man feels sorry for his daughter, and also appreciates his uncle, and uses the relationship to help him find a real fat shortage, patrolling the salt imperial history, which is a good errand for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, but the young Lin Ruhai doesn't buy it, he has to be a clean official, but which salt merchant doesn't have a backstage, he can't do a small imperial history, he can only watch these moths embezzle the silver of the court, and over time, Lin Ruhai can only bow to reality, But he is still clean and self-conscious, never corrupt and bend the law, the family mainly relies on his wife's mother's family to make up for it, fortunately, Cao Yin's family is rich and his connections are also strong, so Lin Ruhai's official career has been stable over the years.

When Liu Ziguang was patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, he brought down Cao Yin, Lin Ruhai also suffered, and was dismissed from office, not to mention, his wife Cao Min was also angry and sick, leaving only a teenage daughter to rely on him, I thought it would be depressed like this, but Lord Qian Qianyi remembered his uprightness for many years, and promoted him to be the deputy capital of the imperial history, which made Lin Ruhai rejuvenated, cheered up and put on the black yarn hat of the imperial history again.

Lin Ruhai is a clean official, and he is a direct minister, an out-and-out direct minister, and he is a Qing official and a direct minister who does not know how to flatter and avoid the heavy and ignore the unspoken rules of officialdom, Liu Ziguang does not like such a person, because Guo Zheng, the imperial historian of the city patrol who was killed by him, is a so-called upright Qing official, and a clean official is not equal to a capable person, which is often ignored, but Liu Ziguang knows this truth very well, so his criteria for selecting officials are professional and technical, and there are no big defects in morality.

"My lord, do you want your subordinates to send someone to collect Lin Ruhai's stain and remove him from the imperial throne?" Sun Gang asked suspiciously, this guy must have also thought of the Guo Zheng incident, their Nanchang and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are rivals, originally the Nanchang still has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but after this internal adjustment of the government, the Nanchang was deprived of this power, Sun Gang's brain must not have imagined that the emperor made adjustments for the sake of balance, and thought that it was the ghost behind the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he wanted to find this field back.

Liu Ziguang waved his hand and signaled that Sun Gang didn't have to be so excited: "It's just a nerd, don't care what he does, these imperial histories are all crazy, the more you take care of him, the more energetic he becomes, but I'm wondering, why did someone notify these imperial histories as soon as I entered the capital, I don't know which link went wrong, you help me check this matter." ”

"My lord, don't you know, the brothers have been very unhappy with their errands recently, those officials say that we are not qualified to manage them, saying that the officials are only under the management of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and those who should cooperate are always working against us." Sun Gang complained.

During this period of time, the imperial court changed dramatically, the power was reshuffled, Donglin and Wei Zhongxian in Beijing did not lose anything, Liu Ziguang was really seized power, and in the future, Nanchang could only be responsible for counter-espionage work, and the domestic supervision task was divided between the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dongchang, and Jinyiwei expanded the armament and was responsible for the security of the Gyeonggi generation, the soldiers and horses that originally belonged to themselves were dismembered, a large number of Shandong soldiers returned to Shandong, the officers were dismissed, and a large number of local officers were appointed, all of which were born in a very short period of time, Liu Ziguang, who was far away in Beijing, couldn't react at all, and it was impossible for the Red Shirt Regiment to react, this was just a normal personnel adjustment of the imperial court, could it be impossible to resist the order to rebel?

"If you don't want to investigate the officials, you can check in a different name, and it's not over for him to put a Manchu spy hat, see who dares to smack his hair." Liu Ziguang solved Sun Gang's depressed problem for many days in one sentence, and happily retreated.

Liu Ziguang sat in the lobby of the Yamen of the South Factory, with his feet on the public case, looking at the plaque of "Mirror Hanging" hanging on his head, he has risen too fast for more than a year, so fast that others are dizzying, and he is so fast that he has no time to cultivate his own foundation strength, whether it is the South Factory or the Red Shirt Regiment, or the newly formed Beiyang Naval Division, although there is a strong force, but there is a serious lack of high-level civil officials and strategists.

Now the right to speak in the court is completely controlled by the Donglin Party, among the six departments, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War are all people from Donglin, and Hu Xuezhai of the household department is about to be hollowed out, only the Ministry of Industry in charge of Song Yingxing is under his control, but before the old man Song became a scholar, he was just a small county scholar, an eight-grade official, and he had no connections in the officialdom at all, and it would be good to be able to hold the Ministry of Industry without being set aside, he had no energy at all, and he had no ability to help Liu Ziguang speak above the court. As for the two local officials, the prefect of Suzhou and the governor of Shanghai, although they are considered to be people in their own faction, they are not descendants after all, and they will defect at the slightest disturbance, and they cannot be counted on.

As for the lack of strategists, only one Li Yan is barely qualified, but the military books he is familiar with are also from the cold weapon period, and he is completely unfamiliar with the upcoming large-scale firearms and mechanized operations, and he cannot do a good job as a staff officer.

Not to mention Li Yan, even Liu Ziguang himself has no experience in this area, and his war in the era of hot weapons is limited to the nonsense of various film and television works and a few experts in the seven sets of military programs of the central government.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziguang suddenly jumped up from behind the public case and shouted loudly: "Prepare for the horse, Benhou wants to inspect the Jingshi Lecture Hall and the Jingshi University of Science and Technology Hall." ”

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, rejuvenation of the country to education-oriented, Liu Ziguang knows this truth, as early as the early days of the establishment of the South Factory, he funded the construction of two schools, one is called Jingshi Wutang, as the name suggests is a military school, but not the military school run by the imperial court, but he Liu Ziguang privately run a school, specifically recruiting aspiring young people in the society to participate, literacy is the best, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate, anyway, the school in addition to teaching war also teaches literacy, this military school has two parts: junior class and senior class, the primary class of the school system is one year, Learn basic firearms mechanical knowledge and bows, sabers and guns, after graduation can serve as a small flag of the Red Shirt Regiment, the senior class has a three-year study system, the selection is young, the young people who have not been imprisoned by traditional ideas in their minds, the personnel of the Red Shirt Regiment, the Ministry of Industry, and the South Factory are selected as instructors to teach physical and chemical knowledge, weapons principles, operational command, logistics support, intelligence analysis and other subjects, in fact, the instructors do not have systematic textbooks, in, are teaching and sorting out, everyone discusses together, and compiles the textbooks of the military academy, It is equivalent to an exhibition in practice, and this martial arts hall is the cradle of Liu Ziguang's cultivation of military talents.

The school is closely related to the Ministry of Engineering, recruiting a lot of ingenious craftsmen, in addition to the study of theoretical knowledge, every day adhere to scientific experiments, located in the Xiaoling generation of the campus covers a wide area, with a large number of machinery and equipment, including looms, slipways, rails, locomotives, steel-making blast furnaces, circular runways, shooting ranges and other facilities.

Both schools include room and board, employment, and recruit young people under the age of 20, these people are quick and not rigid, and it is easy to cultivate loyalty, Liu Ziguang also stipulates a scholarship of up to 20 taels per month, and students with excellent grades in various subjects can get it, and it is awarded by the respected Liu Dashuai himself, speaking of which, I haven't come to visit these students for several months, as the school director, Liu Ziguang deliberately took time out of his busy schedule to visit today, and the students don't know how to be happy.

Arrived at the gate of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, but the Zhenwu Marquis and his party were stopped by the guards, the gate of the school is very similar to the gate of the military camp, with two big carts cocked up, four young soldiers wearing green robes and iron helmets stood at the door, blocking their way with red tassel guns, and roaring in a childish voice: "Lecture on the martial arts hall, no trespassing!" ”

Liu Ziguang was happy, and when he turned around, he was told by the soldiers and told them who I was.

The soldiers stepped forward and asked, "Lord Zhenwu Hou came to inspect the martial arts hall in person, so don't you hurry up and report it." ”

Xuebing twisted his neck and said: "The scholar has an order, no one is allowed to enter during the exercise, and the violators will be killed, we only obey the orders of the scholar, and dare not disobey, and please wait for the master to wait for the end of the exercise before entering." ”

"You kid ate the gall of the leopard, and you dare to block the car even though you know that the Hou Ye is coming, believe it or not, I will kill you with a knife?" The pro-soldier said that he was going to draw a knife and cut people, but the student soldier didn't even avoid it, and still said loudly: "No matter who it is, it is not allowed to enter during the exercise." ”

"Okay, okay, don't scare the kids." Liu Ziguang waved his hand to let the pro-soldier who deliberately scared the child retreat, jumped down from the horse, patted the shoulder of the answering student, and asked: "The young man did a good job, he should strictly implement the military order like this, what is your name?" How old is it? ”

"Hui Hou Ye, the youngest is called Meng Zhiqiang, sixteen years old this year, a student of the senior class of the martial arts hall, and the squad leader of today's Yuanmen guards." There is a small silver star on the chest of the young cadet, which is the rank mark of the cadet, indicating that he is a very good cadet.

"Yes, promising." Liu Ziguang said kindly, let the soldiers lead the horses to the shade of the trees on the side of the road to enjoy the shade, but he stood guard with the soldiers under the scorching sun, the weather in Nanjing was very hot, the sun was very hot, the iron helmets of the four teenagers were hot, and the young faces became dark, but the expression was very resolute.

This is all the hope of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ziguang thought secretly.
