After coming into contact with some new Confucianism in Jiangnan, he also appreciated those new Confucianism very much.

Therefore, Chen Youliang fled from Huguang to Sichuan, but he still brought many literati who studied Confucianism and new learning, and the really useful talents were actually these people, not these old-fashioned Confucian students in Sichuan.

After consulting with Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang immediately ordered the recommendation of talents in Sichuan, and asked the generals of the garrisons to recommend the landlords in their areas to become officials.

All the gentry who have been recommended must come to Chengdu to meet Chen Youliang.

After Chen Youliang's final selection, a large number of Sichuan landlords and gentry were appointed by Chen Youliang as local county commanders and other officials.

It's just that the power of these officials, because of the existence of the Red Turban Army garrison, is actually not as big as imagined, but it is also a very good way out.

Even, not only could he not get an official appointment, but then Chen Youliang issued a will to fight local tyrants and divide the land.

The Red Turban Army in the entire Sichuan immediately took action, and a large number of landlords were successively charged with fornicating with the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty, and all of them were confiscated, and Zhuangding was relocated to Zigong and other salt mines to be used as coolies.

Almost half of the local landlord's house in Sichuan has been cleaned.

But in this way, it also controlled the local land in Sichuan.

Taking advantage of these lands, Chen Youliang expanded his army in Sichuan on a large scale, and the number of troops originally brought in from Huguang skyrocketed from 50,000 to as many as 150,000.

Moreover, these 150,000 people are all military households where everyone has land, similar to the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Each soldier was given at least thirty acres of land.

This is not one of those dry fields that lack water and drought, but the high-quality fertile fields in the plains of the land of abundance, near the rivers and with sufficient water sources.

Through this series of means of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, as well as some previous measures to recommend the gentry as officials, Chen Youliang quickly gained a firm foothold in Sichuan.

After gaining a firm foothold, he officially announced that he would move the capital of the Han Empire from Hanyang, Hubei Province to Chengdu.

As a result, the capital of the Han Empire became Chengdu, Sichuan.

Sichuan's talents have flocked to Chengdu, relying on Sichuan's unique geographical advantages, Chen Youliang in Sichuan actually showed a promising momentum.

The morale of all the soldiers of the Han Red Turban Army was also boosted.

The news of Chen Youliang's fight against local tyrants in Sichuan and the division of land also quickly reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already pacified Hunan and Hubei.

A large area of land from Huguang to Guangdong has been connected, so that there is no fear of Chen Youliang entering the east and attacking the east, and they can support each other.

After learning that Chen Youliang also practiced fighting local tyrants and dividing the land in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a sarcastic smile.

"Chen Youliang, this guy, this action can be said to be a tiger into a cat."

Sichuan was originally a place with blocked transportation, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was very easy for his soldiers to be lazy and slack, and he now distributed all the land in Sichuan to the soldiers. So let the soldiers have a comfortable nest, and then if they want to attack Sichuan, it will be even more difficult.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grasp of people's hearts has to be said to be a grade higher than Chen Youliang.

Although there are still some in today's Ming Dynasty, they still fight local tyrants and divide the land. However, the matter of land was not simply distributed to the soldiers, but to the many poor peasants.

Then, from these peasants, taxes were collected and soldiers were recruited.

Otherwise, if all the land is allocated to the soldiers, it will create a large number of rich and noble soldiers.

A rich and noble soldier who has no worries about food and clothing, and has no enterprising spirit, but has no combat effectiveness.

After learning about Chen Youliang's series of measures in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang did not regard Chen Youliang as a huge threat.

Zhu Han also felt that Chen Youliang's behavior of fighting local tyrants in Sichuan and dividing the land was not a threat to him.

He said to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, "Brother, in this way, Chen Youliang is just a dry bone in the grave." As long as we hold on to the Anzhou area, Chen Youliang will no longer be able to invade the territory of Huguang. ”

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said more: "That's right, Chen Youliang wants to learn from Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Zhaolie, but how many people in the world are Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Zhaolie?" Moreover, he sent his soldiers to the fertile land of Sichuan, and then tried to get these soldiers to move, but it was even more difficult, without high morale, then it would no longer pose a threat to us. ”

Zhu Han also agreed with his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis, he nodded and said: "Now Chen Youliang is no longer worried, and our last enemy is the Mongols." ”

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, now that Huguang, Guangdong, and Fujian have settled down, only the Mongols in the north are left." Xu Da has already sent good news, Henan and Shandong have been basically pacified, and now the rest is mostly about the middle land. ”

"Seventy-five, how do you think you should take Guanzhong first, or take Dadu first?"

Today's Ming army can be said to be a three-front battle.

First of all, the first line is the battle to pacify Chen Youliang, and the other line is the pioneering war arranged by Zhu Han in Goryeo, Wa and other places.

The remaining front line was the northern campaign led by Xu Da to expel the Tartars and restore China to the Mongols.

Zhu Han said with a smile, "Now Chen Youliang is not afraid, the only thing left is the Mongols, then naturally it is necessary to fight steadily, there is no need to rush for a while, most of the Mongols are already without fighting spirit, we will let him bleed slowly, if they are killed ruthlessly, they all run to the grassland, but it will not be so easy to bleed them." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that Zhu Han's follow-up strategy was to let the Mongols retreat to the steppe in large numbers.

Then from Liaoyang and Youyun to the north, they advanced to the steppe with fortress tactics, forcing the Mongols to stage a new westward migration on the steppe.

Regarding the strategy of letting Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang also agrees very much.

Now the situation in Daming is very good, whether it is going north to Dadu or attacking Guanzhong, in fact, there is no difficulty at all.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is definitely the first in the world.

"Seventy-five, the west enters Guanzhong, but it is second only to the ancient miracle of recovering the sixteen states of Youyun." Zhu Yuanzhang said as he looked at Zhu Han and smiled.

"What do we think, let Xu Daxi enter the pass, and you lead the army north to Dadu, and come to divide the troops into two roads, how about it?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Let me go and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun?" When Zhu Han heard this suggestion, he was stunned.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, the credit for recovering Youyun for sixteen weeks is too great, we think it's most appropriate for you to go, and Xu Da must also guard against Chen Youliang in the south and the Mongols in the northwest, and he can't spare his hand!" If you go directly to attack Dadu, it can also speed up the pace of the Mongols getting out of the Central Plains, but we have heard that the Mongols see that they can't sustain themselves, and they are tyrannical and tyrannical in Dadu, without any scruples, drive them out of the Central Plains a little earlier, and let the people get a chance to breathe a little earlier. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are not unfounded nonsense, according to the reports of various secret agents. The Mongols, feeling that their empire could not be sustained, plundered and killed everywhere. There was no scruple at all, and many towns in Hebei were slaughtered by the Mongols because they refused to pay high taxes for grain and grass.

Let Xu Daxi enter the pass, and then Zhu Han personally led the army to recover the capital Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, which can be regarded as a more suitable strategy.

However, after Zhu Han heard this suggestion, he refused it without even thinking about it.

He is not a fool, how can he not understand the mind of his brother Zhu Yuanzhang?

In fact, this is because Zhu Yuanzhang still has no dead heart, and wants to make himself the emperor's younger brother, and his thoughts have not changed.

Let Zhu Han lead the army to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, just to give him a higher prestige.

Now the crown prince Zhu Biao has been officially canonized, but the elder brother still has no heart to die, and still wants to make himself the emperor's younger brother.

This idea is very dangerous.

That is, the eldest nephew Zhu Biao is still young, and if he is a little older, it will be very easy to cause distrust and dislike between them.

"Brother, I don't agree with this suggestion, since the Northern Expedition has been handed over to Xu Da, then it is not appropriate to divide the troops from him, and now the strength of the Ming army is already a little nervous, and the recruits are too late to train, so it is not appropriate to divide the troops!"

Zhu Han's words made Zhu Yuanzhang a lot more cautious.

Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty attacked from all sides, it did not rely on the numerical advantage of a large number of troops, but relied more on the main army idea of elite soldiers.

Xu Da has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, but it doesn't seem to be enough for the entire huge northern battlefield.

Therefore, if the troops are divided, it will indeed increase the difficulty of attacking Guanzhong.

Zhu Han did not hesitate and refused to lead the army to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun!

also clearly expressed to the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that he did not have the idea of being a royal brother at all.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood, he nodded and said to Zhu Han, "Hey, okay, since you don't want to, then we won't force you, and leave the matter of expelling the Tartars to Xu Da to do it slowly." ”

"However, in Xu Da's army, the number of new troops is not very large, once the Mongols are expelled from the Central Plains, then there will be fewer chances of a big war in the future, it is better to send Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others to serve in front of Xu Da's army, so that they can hone each other and cooperate. It's also considered a military training, how about it? Zhu Han suggested.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded and said: "Well, yes, Qiwu, you are a good idea, Chen Youliang will definitely not dare to enter Huguang again, often in the spring, if these people don't kill the Tartars, I'm afraid there will really be no chance to make military merits in the future." ”

In the Ming army, Xu Da belongs to the most trusted generals, and the troops under his command are all trained by himself.

As for the other armies, all of them were personally trained and controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.

In other words, Xu Da's army belongs to its own family!

And the army in Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang's hands is another line, and if the great unification is about to be made today, it is very necessary to mix the two armies into one.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han trust Xu Da very much, but the soldiers under them may not be able to understand such an unbreakable friendship.

It is necessary to strengthen cooperation and trust among the various generals and prevent any estrangement and suspicion.

In Jinling City, Zhao Min walked on the streets of Yingtianfu in Jinling, looking at the bustling crowd, but his heart was full of sadness and anxiety.

It's been a month or two since she came to Ying Tianfu, and all the gold and silver on her body have been almost spent.

The original inn was almost uninhabitable, but it still didn't get any chance to assassinate Zhu Han.

I saw Zhu Han present in Taixue several times, but because the weapons in his hands were confiscated in advance, there was no chance to assassinate him at all.

Today is another opportunity, another lecture in the open class of Taixue.

Zhao Min heard that King Zhu Han would come to Taixue today to listen to this open class, so she spent the last bit of money on her body and asked the innkeeper to buy a front seat for herself in the open class of Taixue, wanting to find the last chance to complete it.

Zhao Min brought his own sword, but this sword was only in disguise.

Because the weapon she really used to assassinate was the specially made hairpin on her head.

Today's Zhao Min is still dressed as a woman, but she does wear a Taoist robe, and you can wear a relatively loose Taoist crown and hairpin.

The hairpin on her head was made of cold iron, and it had been carefully quenched with poison by her.

Zhao Min used a dog to test the toxicity of hairpins, which can be said to be dead at the sight of blood.

Therefore, today's open class of Taixue is Zhao Min's last desperate fight.

If she can't assassinate Zhu Han, then she will also have to give her life in this Jinling City, and the so-called unsuccessful will become a beneficiary.

But.

It's a pity that Zhao Min has encountered a big trouble for such an important action today.

That's when she overslept!

I actually missed the time of today's Taixue open class.

She hurried and walked in the direction of Taixue.

If she can't succeed in assassinating Zhu Han today, then she will never have the opportunity to contact King Zhu Han again.

She's almost penniless!

After today...... The innkeeper was going to kick her out.

Just as Zhao Min hurriedly walked forward.

But suddenly he heard the rattling of a hurried carriage behind him.

Dangdang!

Dangdang!

A crisp brass bell rang from behind him.

Zhao Min turned around and looked back, only to see a rich and gorgeous four-wheeled carriage driving behind him.

This four-wheeled carriage is the latest novelty in Jinling City.

This four-wheeled carriage has a tall frame and four delicate wheels, and it is said that not only does it ride smoothly and smoothly, but also people sit in it without bumping, unlike the original two-wheeled carriage, which can be turned apart in a day or two.

Zhao Min dodged the road to the side, trying to let the carriage walk over.

However, the carriage suddenly stopped in front of her, revealing a handsome face.

The people in the carriage looked at Zhao Min and said with a smile: "This brother, but you want to go to Taixue?" ”

When Zhao Min heard this, he looked at the people in the carriage, but he was suddenly stunned.

Because the person in front of him turned out to be Zhu Han, the king of the Ming Dynasty.

Although through the thin screen window, she could still see the faces inside.

"You are, you are?"

Zhao Min suddenly trembled with excitement, her heart was also pounding, the big enemy who killed her father was right in front of her, how could she not be excited?

Because of the intense excitement, a red appeared on her face, a crimson as if she were shy.

made her whole person look like Zhu Han, and she actually had a delicate and handsome appearance.

Zhu Han looked at the woman in the Taoist robe in front of him, and immediately laughed.

In Taixue's public class, he had seen this handsome woman dressed as a man several times.

This year, there are not many women who are willing to spend a lot of money to attend classes in Taixue.

Although this woman was dressed in men's clothes, and her face was painted with something black, she still could not hide the stunning beauty under these disguises.

Today, just by flashing from the side, Zhu Han recognized her.

Now he invited her to ride in the carriage with him, firstly, out of curiosity about her identity as a woman, and secondly, because he also wanted to have the opportunity to be alone with such an unconventional beauty.

Today's Zhu Han is no longer the original ignorant teenager, and the various Jiangnan girls, Goryeo Silla maids, and Japanese women have already opened his eyes.

The so-called erotic sex is also, it is normal to see a beautiful woman to have a conversation.

When Zhu Han saw this familiar beauty, he only thought that she was a woman dressed as a man and liked to go to Taixue to listen to classes, but he didn't realize that the person in front of him was a female killer who regarded him as a killer!

For Zhu Han's accosting, Zhao Min was also taken aback.

She didn't know how King Zhu Han, a dog thief, would suddenly send her an invitation to ride on the street?

At this time, Zhao Min glanced at Zhu Han's carriage.

There were more than a dozen murderous guards in front and behind.

Moreover, in Zhu Han's four-wheeled carriage, there seemed to be two maids serving inside, and I don't know if they were real maids or the kind of guards who pretended to be maids.

Anyway, Zhao Min took a look at it, and immediately felt that the inside of this carriage was too small, and if he made trouble, he might not have a chance to succeed.

The group of guards was too close, the closest was only a step or two, and before they could assassinate themselves, they would be knocked to the ground first.

Just when Zhao Min hesitated, Zhu Han felt that she was a little reluctant to get into his carriage.

After all, the woman in front of her, in the face of the invitation of a big man, if she got into the car so easily, it would be abnormal.

"Well, since the girl doesn't want to get in the car, then I'll go first." Zhu Han smiled slightly, and then let the guard drive forward.

"What? Girl? When Zhao Min heard this word, he was shocked in his heart.

It turned out that he had already seen through his female pretending to be a man, and even invited himself to get in the car!

This swinger!

Zhao Min was ashamed and angry in his heart, and even had some hatred, hating his indecision just now.

If he had just entered the carriage and was attacked by a violent sneak attack, maybe Zhu Han would have died on the spot at this time.

Zhao Min came to Taixue with a lost look.

Sure enough, because he came too late, the gate of Taixue was already closed, and outsiders were not allowed to enter again, even if he had expensive tickets for the Taixue hall class in his hand, Zhao Min was turned away by the Taixue guards.

Zhao Min was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

She could only wander back around Taixue in frustration.

Not long after, the gate of Taixue opened, and then a four-wheeled carriage slowly walked out inside.

This time, Zhao Min immediately recognized that it was the carriage of the British King Zhu Han.

She mustered up the courage to meet the carriage and stepped forward.

Sure enough, Zhao Minyi walked to the front.

The four-wheeled carriage stopped again, and King Zhu Han leaned out of the window again.

"Girl, you're really late, didn't you go in?"

Zhu Han looked at the woman and said with a smile.

Zhao Min nodded, "I don't know where Brother Tai is going, can you take me for a ride?" ”

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately laughed, "You don't even know where I'm going, how can I take you, it's not necessarily whether it's going well or not." ”

When Zhao Min heard this, he immediately panicked, and his question was really full of flaws.

The guards next to Zhu Han were also alert, and they all looked at them with vigilant eyes.

Zhu Han felt that this woman dressed as a man might have some other reason to find herself, and then asked.

"Girl, is there anything you want me to help with?"

Zhao Min was also out of the way at this time, and said to Zhu Han bluntly, "I know that you are His Royal Highness the King of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Zhu Han smiled and nodded, "That's right, I'm Zhu Han." ”

When Zhao Min heard the confirmation, she immediately itched the root of her hateful teeth, and she couldn't wait to immediately pull out the sword in her hand, or pull out the poisonous hairpin on her head, and solve the big thief in front of her, but reason let her know that the probability of success was completely zero.

"To tell you the truth, today is the last time I come to listen to the lectures. This ticket for Taixue is too expensive, I wonder if His Royal Highness can know, what other ways can you listen to the class in Taixue? ”

Zhao Min also knew from the girl's title just now that Zhu Han, a disciple and dog thief, must have taken a fancy to his beauty.

In this case, she will make a plan.

The beautiful woman in front of her dressed as a man is such a strange woman who is down-to-earth and willing to learn.

Zhu Han immediately said to Zhao Min, "Don't be discouraged, now that the Ming Dynasty is emerging, focusing on the new study of Confucianism, not just Taixue, the Ming Dynasty has decided to open the Taixue Women's School in Yingtianfu, specifically recruiting women like the girl who are willing to study the new Confucian school, and the girl can go directly to the Women's Taixue!" ”

Zhu Han's words made Zhao Min suddenly startled again.

"What? Women's Taixue? ”

This is simply unheard of.

For thousands of years, there has been no women's Taixue, and all the talented women in history have learned from family learning, and no court has ever said that it is necessary to set up women's Taixue.

Hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhao Min showed a very surprised look on his face.

Zhu Han has long been surprised by this.

When he proposed this method, not only the subordinate officials, but even the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled.

They couldn't figure out what was the use of letting women learn those new Confucian learnings?

Zhu Han understands the great benefits of letting women learn.

As the great men of later generations said, a woman can hold up half the sky.

The Ming in Zhu Han's mind is not a copy of the feudal dynasty in history!

Rather, he wanted a new Ming dynasty that had moved from a feudal dynasty to a modern society.

In this way, it is not only necessary for tens of millions of men in Daming to work hard, but also for the same number of women to work hard.

And a group of illiterate women, or women who only know the sour sage books, are of little use to modern society.

Only by allowing them to learn the introduction to Confucianism, a new science, can they create a new type of talent.

This group of female students does not need to hold any official positions or do any research, even if it is just for them to teach their husbands and children at home, it is enough to produce earth-shaking changes for the Ming society.

Zhu Han has always firmly believed in one sentence, that is, a hero's mother must create a hero's child, and this sentence is particularly practical for today's Ming Dynasty.

After all, the current social situation is that men are outside and women are inside.

Almost all of a woman's task is to teach her husband and children, if a woman who understands modern humanities and technology becomes a female ruler of a family, it is definitely a huge progress for a certain family of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Han said, took out a small silver-white card from his arms, and handed it directly to Zhao Min. Then he said to him,

"Girl, with this name sticker, you can directly skip the initial test and enter the re-examination of the women's Taixue, good luck."

Zhu Han immediately sat back in the carriage, and with an order, the carriage slowly walked forward.

As the saying goes, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.

Although Zhu Han likes it, he is not a hot first brother, and this kind of encounter is also unique.

Poor Zhu Han didn't know that the real motive of this beautiful woman in front of him was actually to assassinate himself.

If he knew, he was afraid that he would have taken out the musket on his waist and collapsed this beauty in an instant.

No matter what stunning beauty you are, as long as it threatens Lao Tzu's safety, it will make you disappear immediately!

However, Zhu Han didn't know this, he only felt that he had met a rare strange woman in the world, and after the carriage walked out of a distance, Zhu Han suddenly realized that he was stupid just now, and he didn't even think to ask the woman's name.

"Wouldn't it be a little embarrassing if we met again later?"

However, Zhu Han has already seen a lot of women, and he doesn't care much about this matter in front of him.

Now the affairs of Ying Tianfu are too busy, although the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang has come back to preside over the government, but many emerging things still need to be done by himself, and he has no energy to think about anything else.

In particular, recently, he has been busy preparing for the Women's Taixue and the Ying Tianfu Royal Military Academy, which has made Zhu Han's busy feet not touch the ground.

Today I was able to come to Taixue and listen to Wanhu Tao Guangyi's open class lecture.

It's a little free time out of your busy schedule.

The Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty was a big thing that Zhu Han had in mind when the Ming Dynasty was first established.

If you want to build the Ming Dynasty into a modern and powerful empire, a strong army is an indispensable component, and the most important backbone of a strong modern army is its middle and lower level officers, these middle and lower level officers are the real controllers of the army.

With a group of reliable middle and lower-level officers, it is possible to manage a group of soldiers into a group of war machines that obey orders.

At the beginning of the feudal era, everyone had recognized the importance of discipline and rank officers.

It's just that the military controllers in the feudal era were actually all warlords of all sizes.

Even if he is an emperor, he is actually a big warlord.

They used a variety of backward means to restrain and train soldiers, often ignoring the regularization of middle and lower-level officers.

The major improvement in the modern military is the adoption of a complete set of regularized procedures for the training and command of middle- and lower-level officers.

The Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty was founded with Zhu Han's grand wish.

The place where Zhu Han was going today was the Royal Military Academy outside Yingtianfu City.

He was going to inspect and see how the highly-anticipated Royal Military Academy was running after it was established.

After all, this is the elite of the modern army of the Ming Dynasty.

looked at Zhu Han's four-wheeled carriage slowly leaving.

Zhao Min took the small silver card in his hand and stood in place in a daze.

To be honest, she didn't have the slightest interest in the so-called Confucian new studies in Taixue, and she felt dizzy every time she listened to it.

In particular, when the famous Wanhu Tao Guangyi spoke, Zhao Min could understand every sentence and every word in his ears, but after connecting them together, he felt that the clouds and mountains were foggy, and he couldn't grasp the key point.

Now, this so-called women's Taixue must also be like this, and it is immediately a headache.

However, listening to Zhu Han's tone just now, it seems that he has high hopes for that woman Taixue, maybe he will be able to see Zhu Han there often in the future, and there will be more opportunities to assassinate him.

Zhao Min held the silver name sticker in his hand and thought about it as he walked.

If you don't go to this woman's Taixue, the entanglement on your body will not be enough, and if you don't have money in your hand, you will immediately be driven out by the innkeeper to sleep on the streets.

Zhao Min thought about it again and again, and felt that he had no other way out, so he could only ask about this woman's Taixue.

Maybe the opportunity to assassinate the dog thief Zhu Han in the future is in this woman's Taixue.

"Dog thief Zhu Han, you have taken your own life, then don't blame me for being unkind!" Zhao Min thought with hatred in his heart.

。

Jinling should be Tianfu, outside the city of Nanshan.

Originally, this was a barren mountain range, and when the Mongols were stationed in Jiangnan, they once enclosed a large area around this Nanshan Mountain for hunting outside the city.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to capture Jinling, this large hunting ground near Nanshan has been taken over by the government.

It's just that Zhu Han didn't distribute this place to the soldiers and the people of Jiangnan according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, but kept it.

At that time, the purpose was to set it up as an officer academy.

Today, the Ming Royal Military Academy is located in Nanshan, just outside Jinling City.

It is surrounded by lush vegetation, with only a wide avenue leading deep into the wooded mountains.

Deep in the woods, it was originally a garden built by the Mongols for hunting and resting.

Today, the garden has been converted into the Ming Royal Military Academy.

With the sound of horns, it was time for the noon free time of the Daming Royal Military Academy.

After Luo Guanzhong finished eating, he walked on the boulevard of the military academy, holding a color-illustrated artillery training manual in his hand, and reciting the articles in it attentively as he walked.

Since Luo Guanzhong decided to abandon literature and martial arts in Zhejiang, he came to Jinling Yingtianfu alone.

His teacher, Shi Nai'an, is now the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also in the cabinet of the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's minister from the dragon. In the Ming Dynasty, Shi Nai'an's words are full of weight.

Seeing that his original disciple came to join him, Shi Nai'an immediately introduced him to the Daming Royal Military Academy.

Shi Nai'an felt that his student Luo Guanzhong wanted to abandon literature and martial arts, so he couldn't start with the big head soldiers, and it just so happened that the Ming Royal Military Academy prepared by Zhu Han was the Hanlin Academy for the future Ming military generals, so he naturally had to arrange his proud disciple Luo Guanzhong into it.

Because of the recommendation of his teacher Shi Nai'an, Luo Guanzhong's process of entering the Daming Royal Military Academy can be described as very smooth.

In addition, he is young, and now he is only in his twenties, which also happens to meet the admission standards of the Daming Royal Military Academy.

And he himself is well versed in literary history!

He is also very researched about the emerging Confucian New Studies, and can be described as a top talent.

After entering the Daming Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong received a unanimous and excellent evaluation from all the instructors and generals in the first two assessments.

For Luo Guanzhong...... He has already shown his mark in the field of Ming military generals.

Not surprisingly, in the future, there will inevitably be a place for him among the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, in the Ming Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong's chosen subject was the emerging subject that was most valued by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness ----- Artillery.

The great hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty was the artillery, who repeatedly set up miraculous feats on the battlefield.

With the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the technology of various artillery pieces has developed by leaps and bounds.

For the application of artillery, it has developed to a specialized discipline.

As the promoter of the tactics of the Ming artillery!

Zhu Han naturally wanted to set up the discipline of artillery in the Ming Royal Military Academy.

Luo Guanzhong, a person who is familiar with ancient and modern times and can be said to have a super high level of education, was naturally selected into the artillery discipline.

Luo Guanzhong also lived up to expectations, and he also loved the discipline of artillery very much.

Even, when Luo Guanzhong was in his spare time, when he wrote his favorite popular commentary on the Three Kingdoms, he liked to write the sentence 'three cannon sounds' as he wrote.

Although after the artillery professional training of the Ming Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong already knew that in the Three Kingdoms era, no matter whether it was Wei, Shu or Wu, it was impossible for anyone to have gunpowder weapons.

But his love for artillery is already uncontrollable.

Every time I write a popular commentary on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if I don't add a few sentences of 'a cannon sounds', then I always feel that there is something shortcoming, Luo Guanzhong walked on the avenue, while walking, he silently recited the drill manual of the artillery discipline, which was densely packed with subjects that must be memorized.

The knowledge ranged from three-pounder guns to forty-eight-pounder guns, and even seventy-two-pounder naval heavy guns, as for why this artillery was measured in pounds, Luo Guanzhong was also confused. However, as a standard feature of the modern army, that is, the strict implementation of the code of conduct, whether it is reasonable or not, first implement it and then talk about it.

Therefore, although Luo Guanzhong did not understand many of the obscure "Artillery Drill Manual" in his hand, the first principle was to memorize it.

As he walked, he recited the Artillery Drill Manual.

Suddenly, without paying attention to the front, he bumped into a person.

"Oops!" Luo Guanzhong almost fell.

He hurriedly looked up and saw a young man in a general's official uniform in front of him.

Behind this young man, there are two guards who are five big and three thick!

Luo Guanzhong fixed his eyes and saw that the young man in front of him was actually wearing three gold stars on his military uniform, and there were two sword stripes.

A general at a young age?

Luo Guanzhong's heart was greatly shocked.

"Who are you?" Zhu Han was hit by this person who suddenly appeared in his eyes, if he hadn't been practicing martial arts often, he was afraid that he would be knocked down by him.

"Luo Guanzhong, a first-term student of the Daming Royal Military Academy." Luo Guanzhong hurriedly said.

As soon as he heard this name, Zhu Han immediately felt that the world was really wonderful.

He had heard from Shi Nai'an that he had one of his students who wanted to attend the Royal Military Academy.

At that time, Zhu Han waved his hand and gave Shi Nai'an a special approval order.

never thought that the person he specially approved at the beginning was the famous Luo Guanzhong in history.

As a loyal fan of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhu Han didn't expect the great writer Luo Guanzhong to come to his command from Rong, and I really don't know if "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can come out smoothly.

Zhu Han saw Luo Guanzhong in front of him, and saw that he was dignified, of medium stature, and had a capable spirit all over his body.

"It turns out that you are Luo Guanzhong." Zhu Han laughed.

"You've heard of me? Dare to ask what your Excellency is? Luo Guanzhong was a little confused.

At this time, a middle-aged man flashed out from the side and said to Luo Guanzhong,

"This is His Royal Highness! Luo Guanzhong, you don't want to pay homage quickly! ”

When Luo Guanzhong heard that the young man in front of him turned out to be the world-famous British King Zhu Han, he immediately became excited.

"In Xia Luo Guanzhong, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of England." Luo Guanzhong snapped and saluted.

As a hallmark of a modern army, Zhu Han had already ordered the abolition of all original bowing salutes at the Royal Military Academy.

Except for kneeling down to worship the Ming Emperor, everyone else is performing this new set of military salutes!

That is, to stand tall with your chest upright, and then raise your arms and breastplate in front of your chest, or to salute with your fists.

Luo Guanzhong's eyes when he looked at Zhu Han revealed incomparable admiration.

For him, the brothers Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang can be described as legends of heaven and man.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a powerful person, but in four years, such a strong Ming Dynasty was established.

Even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty back then, was only in the middle of the customs for three years, and then it took seven years to determine the world.

Although the Ming Dynasty has not completely eradicated the remnants of Mengyuan and Chen Youliang and other local forces, people with a discerning eye already know that the Ming Dynasty is like a rainbow

, It is already a matter of time before these separatist forces are swept away, and there is no such thing as the fierce battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu back then.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Guanzhong saw the living Ming King Zhu Han in front of him, he immediately became excited.

It turns out that this is the first hero of the Ming Dynasty!

As a brand-new officer and general system, Zhu Han set up a new military system, which basically adopted a more concise and neat modern officer costume, but retained the gorgeous decoration, and distinguished the size of the official position through the Venus badge patterns on the clothing.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's new military uniform was five gold stars!

The crown prince's uniform is four gold stars, but they are not generals, but monarchs.

"The First Evolution"

The real rank of general begins with a general with three gold stars.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty who have the rank of general!

However, there are only King Zhu Han, the founding prince Xu Da, the founding prince Tang He, and the founding prince Zhou Dexing.

There is also His Majesty's cheap old man Guo Zixing, the king of Yang.
