Sun Chengzong himself is from the Bangyan, served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and later even became the Japanese lecturer of Zhu Youxiao, and his attainments in the field of literature are not to be said, but this does not mean that Sun Chengzong himself likes to teach and educate people, because as early as the first year of the Apocalypse, Jin attacked Liaodong, Shenyang and Liaoyang were captured successively, and when Yuan Yingtai, the head of Liaodong Jingluo, committed suicide, someone recommended Sun Chengzong to preside over the defense of Liaodong, and Sun Chengzong himself was rejected by Emperor Tianqi twice, and then it was not until the second year that Sun Chengzong successfully supervised Ji Liao, So when he was reactivated, Sun Chengzong himself was still very happy, thinking that he could show his strength, but the emperor wanted to let him run a school again, and Sun Chengzong was a little reluctant to accept it.

Seeing Sun Chengzong's embarrassed face, Chongzhen knew that he would be wrong, so he said directly: "Inspector Sun, please rest assured, the widow will not let you waste time in the form of the case, and the widow wants you to run a school this time is different from what you did before, and this matter is only suitable for you to do?" ”

"The minister is stupid, please make it clear to your majesty."

"The widow needs to draw middle and lower-level officers from the existing Ming army for phased training, including Inspector Sun, who can sort out all the military cases of the dynasty and history, including the Ningjin defense line, so as to facilitate the subsequent explanation in the school, improve the command quality of the existing middle and lower-level officers, and enrich their theoretical knowledge and experience; In addition, it is also necessary to arrange ideological education instructors to change and sublimate the thinking of these middle- and lower-level officers, so that their sense of honor and mission as soldiers will be strengthened, and their determination and willpower to defend the country will be strengthened. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean to directly run schools and train troops, and build an iron-blooded army with strict discipline and the ability to fight bravely?"

"Yes, now that the guards in various regions are eroded, the middle and lower-level officers themselves are connected to the upper-level generals and ordinary soldiers, but now there is either a vacant salary situation, or some middle- and lower-level officers have not been trained for many years, and the armor and weapons are afraid that they are all hairy, if you really want to fight, how much combat effectiveness does the Inspector think I have in the Ming army now?"

Sun Chengzong secretly fought a cold war, as a general who personally supervised and commanded the battle on the front line, he knew too well the importance of lower-level officers to the construction of the team, and there was this situation when he fought with Jiannu outside the gate before, and the lower-level officers were timid when they were fighting, for fear that they would be injured by Jiannu's strong bow and crossbow, so even the soldiers were afraid of fighting and did not dare to move forward; Slowly everyone reached a consensus: Jiannu is not easy to provoke, it is not easy to fight, when there is a chance to meet, try to hide as much as possible, never have the intention of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, the more so, the morale of the border army will be low, and in the long run, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will no longer be able to recruit people who dare to fight.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, if you can improve the quality of officers and soldiers through running schools and training, then when they return to their original army after the training, they will definitely change their minds, and they can better drive the surrounding soldiers to slowly change the status quo of my Daming Guard, but I have more than one million troops in Daming, and there are nearly 100,000 middle and lower-level officers, this number is still relatively large, and the training funds will also be astronomical, so ......."

Sun Chengzong stopped at the right time, being a courtier is always up to the point, and you can't directly ask the emperor if you have enough economic strength to support military training!

Money, money, and money, where did the silver of the Ming Dynasty go, why always want to do something when it is always linked to money, it costs money to run a Jinyiwei school, and it also costs money to run a military school, since the last time he squeezed out a sum of money from the inner money and handed it to Luo Sigong, Chongzhen really has no money to move, just when Chongzhen was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, he couldn't imagine that a person actually opened his mouth to solve this problem.

"Your Majesty, before Your Majesty forgave the old minister's previous sins, and was cautious to the old minister's father and son's family, the old minister is willing to give the full amount of the family property for the purpose of running the school."

Jiading Bo Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and took a step forward and said.

Nani, this cheap old man is a miser in his life, he can't wait for money to only go in and out, and he is so kind to give away the full amount of his family property, not only Emperor Chongzhen was shocked, but Luo Yangxing behind him, and Sun Chengzong were also surprised, after all, Zhou Kui's reputation for loving money is far away, this time it is really arrogant.

"Jiading Bo is brave and loyal, and he can be anxious about the needs of the widows, and I am very comforted, but if you donate all your family property, what will this Wen Bing and Wen Yao brothers do in the future?" Chongzhen said playfully to Zhou Kui.

"Your Majesty, the old minister only cared about selfish interests before, regardless of the country, to say a big disrespectful word, the old minister and Your Majesty are also a family, if I am incapable of conquering the warriors who are accustomed to war to protect the Quartet, what is the use of the old minister to ask for this yellow and white thing? Besides, if my Ming Dynasty is thriving and the country is prosperous, the glory and wealth of the old minister will be inexhaustible. ”

This Zhou Kui finally did a clear thing, if it is really according to the original time and space, it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Kui's property was also robbed by the Dashun army, and he died of resentment, and he couldn't keep his wealth, and now he can gain further goodwill and trust by taking the initiative to show goodwill, and the identity of his already noble relative will be as stable as a rock in the future.

"If that's the case, then the widow will thank the ruler."

"Your Majesty, although the prince is brave and loyal, the cost of the military school is by no means something that can be implemented by one family, and some needs to be raised."

"Inspector Sun, it should be enough in the short term, can't you just find a way in the later stage?" Zhou Kui said suspiciously.

"Guozhang, don't you know, this military school is running, just the military rations for training, and the consumption in all aspects are a huge amount, so you still have to raise some more, by the way, Guozhang, how much can you prepare here?"

Zhou Kui stretched out the three fingers of his index finger, middle finger and ring finger, and gestured at Sun Chengzong.

"Thirty thousand taels, no, no, no, this is too little, and it can't support it for too long." Sun Chengzong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I'm talking about three million taels."

"Three million?" Everyone in the guest hall was stunned, including Chongzhen, although he knew that Zhou Kui had embezzled a lot of money, but he didn't expect to have such a thick family background, Sun Chengzong's face was even more excited and his face was red, and his mouth trembled and he couldn't speak: "Guozhang, this... Speech... While... True? ”

"Your Majesty is here, how dare I lie, these are not enough for the early operation of the military academy?"

"Enough, enough, Your Majesty, please give the old minister some time, the old minister will definitely help Your Majesty train these middle and lower-level officers into a mighty soldier who dares to fight and is absolutely loyal to His Majesty."

"Don't worry about other places, the soldiers in Liaodong must train first, you can let them be assigned to Beijing to start training, you must remember to grasp both, you can't relax in terms of military quality and ideology, understand?"

"Lao Chen understands that if it is the teaching and running of this military academy, Lao Chen is still willing to accept it." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"As for Sun Aiqing, what do you think about accompanying Inspector Sun to run the school for the time being?" Chongzhen raised his eyes and looked at Sun Chuanting and said.

"It is a blessing for a minister to obey the order, and to be able to learn from Inspector Sun and ask for advice."

"Your Majesty, may you give the Military Academy a name?" Yuan Chonghuan, who had been listening to the blood boiling on the side, said eagerly.

At this time, the people in the room all looked at Emperor Chongzhen expectantly.

"Well, let's call it the Daming Border Army Command Academy!"
