Chapter 748: Naval Academy

The plaque with the words Jing Haibo written on it has been hung up.

Wu Wending also repaired letters to his family in Ningbo, and at the same time sent someone to greet him.

He is now an earl, which is different, according to the regulations, he can enter the Guozijian, the academy or the military academy. The choice is mainly up to each family's own needs.

The children of the noble family generally prefer to go to the military academy.

It is not easy to study hard in the cold window, and the imperial court has also opened a lot of roads for soldiers, so it is not a bad errand to lead troops in the Zhengde Dynasty.

Another day, the Son of Heaven took Jing Haibo to inspect the Ordnance Bureau, and watched the cannons to be installed on the ships, during which he talked about something that also made Wu Wending feel excited.

The emperor intended to establish the Sailor Academy.

The voice has been released.

Soon the cabinet announced that he had come to see him, and in addition, He Jian, the secretary of the household department, and Gu Zuo, the minister of foreign affairs, were all present.

Wu Wending has not been in Beijing for a long time, and he doesn't know that the Forbidden City is such a style now.

This style of work was clearly requested by Zhu Houzhao, and those who procrastinate in doing things must be cleaned up, even if it is against the yang and the yin, and the emperor is not a stupid person after a long time, it can be seen that it is the same.

And the emperor has always only looked at the results, no matter how many tricks there are, he has to get things done.

Yang Tinghe came up to get straight to the point, and the others had no nonsense, which impressed Wu Wending.

"The emperor has always been proud of the success of the military academy, and he has indeed cultivated many battlefield generals for my Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the emperor thought of the Sailor Academy, and today the official specially invited Jing Haibo, in fact, Jing Haibo didn't talk about it, this truth is also simple, water warfare and land warfare are still very different. ”

Wu Wending is very sure, "It is very different, naval combat is more of a test of soldiers' control of ships and weapons, and more of a test of the unified command of the fleet, the water is ruthless, and it is not enough to be brave and ruthless, the ship is not as good as a man, the cannon is not as good as a man, and no matter how brave it is, it is useless." At that time, as soon as the emperor mentioned the Sailor Academy to me, I agreed to come down. ”

"At that time, it may be necessary for Jing Haibo to recommend a few generals who know and are good at naval warfare to come over as teachers, and in addition, when the door is opened, there must always be some books, and these things are compiled by others, which are all nonsense......

Wu Wending naturally didn't say anything, "But there is a need, although the elder speaks." ”

"So, here in the household department, He Shangshu, the emperor personally explained the matter, is there a shortage of silver?"

"No, at the beginning of the establishment of the military academy, 300,000 taels of silver were started to prepare, and now it can be imitated, the cabinet elder only has to give the emperor a script, and the opinions of the household department are signed by the lower officials."

Daming is now rich and has people, as for the land, it can't be regarded as a problem.

However, when they sent the things to the palace, they asked the emperor to return them.

Zhu Houzhao said to them: "I've been thinking lately, of course, there is no problem with the traditional name of the water master, but the land is called the land master, which seems to be a little weird. Therefore, I still want to change it unified, since then my Ming army will make this regulation clear, the armament of the Ming Dynasty is divided into the army and the navy, the original military academy in Beijing has been renamed the army academy, and the naval academy in preparation has been named the naval academy, so that it is easy to understand, even the most ordinary people are not difficult to understand. ”

Although Yang Tinghe and others were surprised by this, they felt that it was a trivial matter, so they all agreed to it.

Later, the Son of Heaven said to the courtiers, "I don't have much opinion on these practices of your superiors. However, the building of the Naval Academy should not be too simple, and it is necessary to invite people to design and build it, and the Army Academy and the Naval Academy will be the military academy with the highest regulation in the Ming Dynasty from now on, and they must reflect the glory of the Ming Army, the glory of the soldiers and the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and let the soldiers who enter the Naval Academy and walk out of the Naval Academy be proud of their identity. ”

This is the difference between so-called retreat and pragmatism.

Because the people of the country always hate retreat too much, and then the prejudice of people is not good for all retreats.

This is actually biased, and sometimes the retreat still has to be done.

Of course, this is a bit of a 'big construction'.

Yang Tinghe was a little worried, "Your Majesty, sometimes just repairing a palace requires millions of taels of silver. ”

"That's not a palace, it's a school building, I want style, not that precious materials are used everywhere."

Well...... This is something to think about.

"Yes."

"But the skeleton of the Naval Academy can be erected first, and some Army Academy buildings can be borrowed for the time being."

There are a bunch of people who can be officials in the current Ming Dynasty, but there is actually a relative lack of people who can do things.

At the beginning, the establishment of the military academy was actually very effective, so now a bunch of generals such as Ma Rong, Ling Weifeng, and Han Shishilang have emerged in the Ming Dynasty.

Anything else......

Alas, it's always a matter of starting and taking your time.

In fact, there is a lack of officials who understand the industry, so Xing Guan's promotion is like riding a rocket.

"The initial personnel are preferentially selected from the Naval Division's Guard, Jing Haibo."

"You go back this time, I will pass on the news, the first phase will accept twenty people, ten of them will be selected from the soldiers who have been rewarded for their meritorious service, they will enter without examination according to the principle of voluntariness, and the remaining ten places will be selected for the unified examination, and I will send two officials of the Ministry of Rites to accompany you, and the eunuchs of Zhejiang Town will be invigilated together."

"Yes, the emperor is glorious!"

"I look forward to the soldiers studying hard and making new contributions to my Ming Dynasty. In addition, following the annual recruitment practice of the Army Academy, officers and men of various garrison stations are allowed to apply for the Naval Academy, and the quota is also 20. ”

Among these twenty people, some noble sons will be brought in.

The so-called guards themselves contain the sons of these nobles.

The reason is not complicated, and the courtiers can see it clearly.

In the future, the navy, oh, is now called the navy, and the power is getting stronger and stronger, and the emperor is the general at all levels who controls the navy in the same way.

Adulteration with noble children is not nepotism, but a necessary combination.

As nobles and the royal family, they will naturally maintain the royal family, and these people are 'scattered' at all levels of the Ming army, which is conducive to the control of the army by the Son of Heaven.

Of course, it is important for the army to be strong, but even more important is loyalty.

When these things were arranged, and Wu Wending was about to leave Beijing again to go to sea, Zhu Houzhao summoned him to gossip in the palace, and he kept following with his head bowed.

"Shi Tai (Wu Wendingzi), you will go to Japan a few times in the past few years, but the number of times will not be too much, this time I will send Yan Song and Chen Chaorui to follow you, one of them is a civil official, and the other is a Jinyi guard, and they will act according to their respective missions, you are a soldier, or you mainly lead the army to fight, don't let the trivial matters outside the barracks divide your energy. Japan is a country that fears power but not virtue, and for its disposal, it is not enough to defeat it, but there are some things that are not suitable for you to do. ”

Wu Wending understood, that's why there was Yan Song, and there was also this person who was preparing to build the Naval Academy that day.

"Wechen understands that Wechen will never spoil the emperor's plan."

"It's good that you understand, remember that you have to focus on the overall situation when you go over there, it's hard to say...... I won't set up another Yang Yiqing there in the future. ”

Wu Wending's eyes shrank, this was to tell him the future plan in advance, let him act according to his will, and not come nonsense.

"Yes!"

After he left, Yan Song walked out of the corner, "Your Majesty." ”

"Sending you to be a master, is this mission okay?"

Yan Song smiled slightly, "Your Majesty has an order, and the minister is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, where else can you choose." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at him deeply, "I just let you leave Guizhou, and now you have to go to a more remote place......

"The minister is loyal to the emperor, and he has no regrets!"

"Alas, Japan is far away from Middle-earth, and I will definitely send a caring and astute person over, and no one else is suitable except for you." Zhu Houzhao sniffed, "I only have one sentence, you have to keep it in your heart." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The Japanese are vicious and ruthless, and they will inevitably harm you in various ways, so you must do a good job of defense and be careful in everything. Especially women, it's okay to play, exotic, I can understand, but don't get carried away, keep your life well, I still want to give you a bigger official to do. ”

Forehead......

The Son of Heaven actually spoke so bluntly. Whether it's a woman or a bigger official...... You Di on the side showed a very playful expression.

Yan Song still said righteously, "Your Majesty, the ministers and ministers will definitely not do such a ridiculous thing, please rest assured, what the ministers think day and night will be the emperor's sage." ”

"Huh, huh?" Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly turned cold, turned around and left.

Yan Song was shocked, he hurriedly asked You Ji for help, "Father-in-law, you see this is ......"

"The emperor is so heartfelt, and his words are so straightforward, why do you still want to tell the truth like this?"

Yan Song suddenly realized, and hurriedly caught up, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The minister knew that he was wrong. ”

Zhu Houzhao stopped and rubbed his hands slowly, "I said it, then you have to send a caring person to the place, what kind of heart do you have with all your nonsense?" Or do you think I'll trust you to do nothing? You will say all your thoughts as they are, and I will return you to be the Yan Weizhong. ”

"Yes." Yan Song kowtowed repeatedly, "The minister will definitely not forget His Majesty's teachings today, and he will definitely be restrained." ”

"Alright, get up." Zhu Houzhao's face was cloudy and sunny, "Don't forget about business." Besides, it's not very convenient for you to have no official or position in Japan, so just hang up the rank of squire in the military department, and rank the third grade. Remember, the Japanese combed me clearly, the silver was shipped out, the goods were transported in, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to be violated by them in Japan, these are the three red lines, even if I am reluctant to kill you, I have to give you a palace punishment, and when you are old, you will come in and replace him! ”

Yan Song didn't know whether it was sad or happy when he heard it, he always felt that the crotch of his pants was cold, and he had to squeeze out a smile and say, "Thank Your Majesty for your favor, the minister will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!" ”

Looking at his funny appearance, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, some loyal ministers are too serious, but they are not so fun, it is very boring to summon them every day, Yan Song is different, you can have a play.

When he left the palace, Yan Song was still thinking that the emperor didn't punish him for his 'confession', but understood very well. When he thought about this, he also had a different thought: Do you want to collect ...... for the emperor?
