Chapter 170: The Problem of Military Schools
In the original timeline, it was not until the twentieth year of Hongwu that the Ming Dynasty incorporated the Northeast into the territory.
This time, whether it is Zhu Yuan or Lao Zhu, in the case of understanding the past history, of course, they hope to be able to do it earlier, so that there are more business arrangements over there.
But not now.
Continuous campaigns, in addition, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty is really not smooth, so the national strength cannot support the immediate development of the northeast.
Xu Da personally guarded the north, and the focus of the troops was still outside the fortress for the time being, and the goal was not to reunite the various tribes in Mobei.
Although there is still a trick to appease, the problem is that if the soldiers are not bloody, if they want to appease, they need to pay a great price, and even have to seal out a few princes with different surnames.
That's the hidden danger.
Just like in the past, for Yunnan, Lao Zhu also thought about the bloodless blade at the beginning, and in the seventh year of Hongwu, he once promised that the Duan family in Yunnan could be crowned the 'King of Yunnan' as long as he was willing to return to obedience.
Duan did not agree.
Then, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the Ming army entered Yunnan, and the Tang Dynasty began to rise after the Song and Yuan dynasties, and once established the country's Dali Duan clan.
This is instructive.
First: Speak well, usually no one listens, human nature lies in a 'toast without eating and punishing wine'.
Second: what is really laid is one's own. A temporary appeasement seems to have a nominal submission, but it will bring more follow-up problems, and in the end, there is a high probability that there will be another battle. Not to mention the loss of labor and money, it may also bring variables to the dynasty and the country.
This is also why, on the Gansu side that is operating, Zhu Yuan suggested that it is best to 'kill chickens and monkeys' and use swords.
As for the Northeast......
It's still those three words: can't be in a hurry.
In the study of the East Pavilion, the two ancestors and grandsons were silent for a moment, and Lao Zhu obviously made up his mind, suppressed his urgency and said: "When Wen Zao comes back, ask carefully, and then talk about the follow-up." ”
Zhu Yuan nodded, and said: "If you can let the Northeast fight like Mobei, it's actually not bad." ”
"If this can be the case, it will be the best," Lao Zhu nodded, he didn't have much reaction to Zhu Yuan's proposal, obviously he had thought of it, and then picked up the black soil in the red sandalwood box: "This thing was originally brought back with a cart, but unfortunately only this handful is left." ”
Zhu Yuan had read in the letter he had just heard that a car of black soil had to give up because of the pursuit, and he had to give up, so he had time to grab a handful and bring it back, and said at this time: "The ancestors don't have to regret it, a car and a handful are the same, now take a look, if you really want to develop, you still have to wait until we really get there." ”
Lao Zhu twisted some carefully and rubbed it with his fingertips, and sent it to his nose to smell it, and said with emotion: "It's a good thing to look at, it can only grow an inch in hundreds of years." Yuan'er, why can't this Central Plains grow, or, is there any way to artificially brew some black soil? ”
"Ancestor, this problem is too complicated, there are too many external conditions involved, climate, water source, terrain, etc., etc., the most important thing is time, according to the past calculation...... If the black soil grows an inch, the Central Plains may change for a while, which is not something that can be done by manpower. Zhu Yuan shook his head with a smile: "In addition, the ancestors don't have to be too obsessed with this black soil, that land is just a little better, just like the coastal fishing grounds, which have not been developed for hundreds of millions of years, and at the beginning, the fishing harvest is naturally rich." However, when the new era comes, through more scientific and reasonable planting methods, any land, whether yellow or black, can get a very rich harvest. ”
Lao Zhu nodded, still put away the box of black soil very preciously, and said: "What you said, I remembered that last year's bird droppings, Hu Weiyong also came to play a chapter a year ago, and specially said that in the field with bird droppings, the rice grows quite well." This is thousands of miles away, in the end, it's just a saying. Since you proposed it, this is also spring, so you still have to choose a nearby field to give it a try. ”
"Rest assured, Yuan'er has always remembered."
The cultivation pattern around Jinling is usually two crops a year, sowing in February, harvesting early rice in May, planting another crop of late rice, and harvesting for the second time in September.
Therefore, if you want to do guano experiments here, you should start to select experimental fields in the near future and fertilize the land in advance.
The grandfather and grandson talked about some things before they got up and went to the conference room next door.
Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and others have arrived.
In addition to the two generals, as well as Tu Xiao, there is also Chen Cheng, the first commander of the new Jinyi Guard, who has officially changed from Gongwei Division to Jinyiwei.
Zhu Yuan understood that it should be about the establishment of an intelligence major in the military university.
Lao Zhu is very concerned about this.
In addition, I also think of Zheng Xun, who was noticed by Lao Zhu in the imperial examination last year with a martial arts strategy and personally named the Zhengwupin Thousand Households, but although it is also the Zhengwupin, which is equivalent to Tu Xiao's part-time Zhengwupin Siye, he is not qualified to sit here today.
After giving the salute, everyone took their seats.
Zuo Xiang was not there, and Zhu Yuan also reached the first position on his left hand, opposite Chang Yuchun.
Daming respects the left, this time, it means that Zhu Yuan is still higher than Chang Yuchun, but everyone present has no opinion, after all, in addition to the same political affairs from the first product of the book, Zhu Yuan also has the identity of a royal family.
Even if it's a royal family, it's still a royal family.
According to the ethical guidelines of this era, if you discuss it in detail, Zhu Yuan and Chang Yuchun, in fact, one is the 'master' and the other is the 'servant'.
The meeting begins.
First of all, Deng Yu, who was in charge of the preparation before, gave a general introduction to the results of the work during this time.
The main one is that the site selection of the Jinling Military University campus in the north of Hongshan has been successfully leveled out a few years ago, which Zhu Yuan only went to see with Lao Zhu, Chang Yuchun and others a few days ago.
The next step was to build the school building.
Chang Yuchun hopes to get it done within three months, which requires many craftsmen, fortunately, with the arrival of most of the craftsmen, even if only half of them are left in Jinling, and the other half is sent to Taiping, the current Jinling surroundings, there is no shortage of manpower, not to mention that Lao Zhu also said two days ago that he can use spare soldiers to participate in labor.
Therefore, three months, enough.
After this question, it is the specific admissions.
That's worth mentioning.
According to the ideas of Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu, of course, only the children of the nobles are recruited as much as possible.
It's understandable to think so.
However, if this is really the case, it is not interesting to run this school, or according to the former Ming military system, it is directly hereditary, the son of the commander is still the commander, the son of a thousand households is still a thousand households, the son of a hundred households is still a hundred households, and ordinary military households...... There is a high probability that it will always be an ordinary military household.
The problem lies in the fact that one of the main purposes of Zhu Yuan's private discussions with Lao Zhu to open the Jinling Military University is to eliminate the possible hereditary drawbacks of military posts and to avoid the long-term monopoly of military posts by noble families through continuous training of officers at all levels.
I had also considered it in advance, so when others said it briefly, Zhu Yuan said: "I think, first of all, the military university should be divided into two parts, similar to the medical university, one part of the affiliated school, which is divided into two stages: primary and secondary schools, and the other part is the main university. The former mainly recruits the children of the general school of the Beijing Division, of course, if there are other outstanding good seedlings, they will also be accepted, and if the children of the general school do not want to join the army in the future and want to turn to other professions, they are not reluctant. However, if the parents are in the army, if they want to enter the affiliated school, they must be given priority. ”
Everyone should stop putting their heads on the belt of their trousers to accompany Lao Zhu to fight the country, and it is necessary to give preferential treatment.
Zhu Yuan said this, Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu both nodded, and Chang Yuchun also praised the venue and said directly: "This affiliated school, when it opens, the three boys in my family will go directly to study." ”
When I often say these words, I faintly grit my teeth.
That's where it gets interesting.
Zhu Yuan thought about it and probably understood.
Just like ever......
Chang Yuchun died early, and his eldest son Chang Mao won the title of Duke Zheng Guo, however, Chang Mao was a standard gentleman.
The official history records that Chang Mao was stripped of his title and degraded Guangxi because he almost stirred up Huang Feng Sheng's surrender to the Northeast Naha Division, but in fact, before that, according to some less orthodox historical records, Chang Mao was already regarded as doing a lot of evil, and ordinary people can imagine that a top gentleman would do evil things, and a teenager who inherited his father's title at the age of 14 basically did it, so that Feng Sheng, as Chang Mao's father-in-law, taught his son-in-law more than once, hoping that Chang Mao could be more serious.
It's a pity that it didn't work.
Chang Mao not only didn't listen to Feng Sheng's bitter words, but also openly confronted his father-in-law, so that after the incident in Hongwu's twenty years, Weng and his son-in-law almost turned against each other.
What kind of person is Feng Sheng?
Hongwu Dynasty, the kind that almost passed, although it was finally given to death, the family was also preserved, and it was passed down to hundreds of years later.
Look at Changmao again.
I can't say.
Even, from another angle, you can see that Chang Mao is disliked.
When Zhu Biao was still there, Lan Yu came to the fore, and became the first martial artist after twenty years of Hongwu, and he was also the prince's mother's family, and he should have been closer, but as a result, Chang Mao was cut off and degraded.
My brother-in-law doesn't recognize you anymore!
Of course, there may be other reasons for this.
Changmao ...... It's a concubine.
After Chang Mao was demoted, in the twenty-first year of Hongwu, Chang Yuchun's second son, Chang Sheng, was named the founding father.
Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, the third elder of the Chang family, are concubines or concubines, so they are a little unclear.
It didn't matter back then.
Because, a pillar of the Chang family, the crown princess Chang, died in childbirth in the eleventh year of Hongwu, and failed to leave her eldest son. Therefore, he is often promoted to the rank of knight...... There is a high probability that Lao Zhu himself thought of Chang Yuchun and gave him kindness.
Although he got a founding father, he didn't have any special performance after Chang Sheng, and the later ending was even more unclear, some said that he died in the Lanyu case, and some said that he died in the Battle of Jingjing.
According to normal historical logic, there is a high probability that it is the former.
After all, Lan Yu has fallen, Jianwen is not from Chang Yuchun's daughter Chang family, there is no blood relationship with Chang family, and the rest of the Chang family is gone, leaving a founding prince is simply an unstable factor. Of course, it is best to remove it in advance.
In short, Chang Yuchun is a fierce general, and several descendants, compared with the Xu Da family, are all typical tiger fathers and dogs.
In the conference room of the moment.
Lao Chang's reaction to beating his sons can also make people see the clues.
Zhu Yuan can even imagine certain scenes.
After years of fighting, he returned home and found that several of his sons had already shown crooked signs. As a masterpiece in the world, even if Chang Yuchun has not read any books, it is impossible not to understand the importance of children's education.
So, it's easy to imagine what to do next.
Zhu Yuan also didn't want to see Chang Yuchun end up with a 'tiger father and dog son', but listening to the old chatter on the other side, he couldn't help but smile and said: "General, although it is an affiliated school, it is also an affiliated school of a military university, unlike others, as long as this school comes in, it will receive militarized education, and when the time comes, don't feel distressed." ”
"How could I ...... As the saying goes, what is it, the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy, hey, I am the principal, that is, the 'father' and the 'teacher', I will definitely teach them well," Speaking of this, Lao Chang's gritted teeth became more obvious, and then he found himself out of shape, turned to Lao Zhu, and took the initiative to explain: "The lord is not strange, really, I came back this time and found that my mother-in-law was negligent in disciplining the dogs in the family, and she was indone." ”
Lao Zhu suddenly smiled: "It's just right, you ...... and do his duty as a father. Oh, speaking of this teaching child, if you have any doubts, you can also ask Yuan'er, don't look at him small, he has a lot of ideas, I have to listen to him. ”
Chang Yuchun nodded, and turned his head to look at it briskly: "I have time to ask Pingzhang for advice." ”
Zhu Yuan was modest: "Don't dare to be, discuss together, discuss together." ”
Chang Yuchun laughed, teasingly, and said, "Pingzhang's age...... It's time to say goodbye. ”
Zhu Yuan: "......"
Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.
Sure enough, when Lao Zhu heard this, his smile was put away: "This is not to mention, this kid ...... The ideas are also different, so I'll let him see what I can make. ”
Zhu Yuan: "......"
Just know.
Although he reluctantly agreed on the surface, Lao Zhu still did not approve of his choice.
Recognition is weird.
Anyway, parents are like this, and Zhu Yuan's response is that he didn't hear it.
His Majesty the Emperor said this, and everyone had a faint guess, but they didn't ask anything uninterestingly.
Zhu Yuan took the initiative to open the question: "After the affiliated primary school, it is the university part, not to mention in the long run, in the future, it will be continuously adjusted according to the reform of the Ming military system in the future...... Similar to last year's imperial examination, they should be under the age of 30, have military merits, and have good potential. Still, huh...... After all, after so many years of fighting, in the first few years, it is also necessary to relax a little, as long as it is a good enough general, over 30 years old, it is no problem. ”
After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, Chang Yuchun immediately answered again: "Pingzhang, I'm afraid this won't work." ”
Zhu Yuan looked over.
Chang Yuchun glanced at his father-in-law, and then continued: "This university, according to my old thoughts, should be only accessible to those who are knowledgeable." It's like myself, I don't know a few big characters, if it weren't for ...... Even if he reluctantly became the president of this military university, he was panicked and had no confidence. Oh, I can barely read and write, but in the army...... Those rammed goods, let them go into battle to kill the enemy, no two words, if you talk about learning, it will only be more unbearable than me, these ...... How can I come to university? ”
Zhu Yuan patiently listened to Chang Yuchun's words, and shook his head directly: "General, it is precisely because of this that you should enter the university." ”
Deng Yu also opened his mouth at this time, and his attitude was similar to that of Chang Yuchun: "Pingzhang, those military men, let them carry knives, if they are allowed to hold a pen, I am afraid it will be even more uncomfortable than killing them." Moreover, they can't read a lot of words, and when they enter this university, or they are not even as good as the Mongolian children in the affiliated schools, how can they learn military strategy? ”
Lao Zhu saw that the two subordinates had such an attitude, he came step by step from the bottom, and he understood the details of the army. However, at this time, of course, he said to his baby twenty-third grandson: "Yuchun, Youde, don't worry, listen to Yuan'er first." ”
Zhu Yuan glanced at the top gratefully, then turned to the two opposite, and said: "General, Deng Yushi, first of all, let's sort out one thing, the establishment of Jinling Military University, the fundamental purpose is to promote a metamorphosis of the Ming army, to be more specific, in the context of the transformation from the agricultural era to the industrial age, the Ming army is also changing from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons, and the requirements for soldiers will be different in different eras. In the era of cold weapons, as long as everyone can lift a knife, they can become soldiers. However, in the era of thermal weapons in the future, even ordinary soldiers will need to master certain military skills, let alone high-level generals, so it is necessary to open special military academies and schools to train military generals in the new era. ”
Through various channels, Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu probably knew about the relationship between the agricultural age and the industrial age, as well as some concepts of cold weapons and hot weapons, which are closely related to the military. Although I am still not familiar with it, I don't need Zhu Yuan to explain it extraordinarily.
Zhu Yuan's words, the two of them understood, so they nodded together.
Zhu Yuan continued: "Secondly, of course, I know that it is better to directly select cultural people who have read books to enter the school. However, the selection of students from the army, this is actually a kind of reward, you have been fighting for so many years, the Ming Dynasty also opened the country, and the next various rewards will not be less, but on the basis of the second, I also hope that some people can go further, through the education of military universities, and go to a higher level in the future. Moreover, on the one hand, such an opportunity to study is not much compared to my Ming million-strong army, so it is very precious, and not everyone who wants to come. Even if you are selected, you will be dismissed at any time if you don't work hard enough in the future. On the other hand, because the opportunity is precious, there will be no reluctance. The generals are willing to enter the school, and only after passing the screening can they enter the school. If they feel that they are really incapable, no one will force them to go to school. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan paused before continuing: "Finally, on the question of the basics, even if you don't know a word, it's okay. This is because the first thing military universities value is their military ability, the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy and command the soldiers, and this is the foundation that military university students should have the most, rather than knowing a few more words like Mengtong. Of course, if you don't have a little cultural foundation, you will definitely have to work harder when you enter the university, but those who can go to the military are heroes, and they are not afraid of life and death, are they still afraid of reading and learning words? You know, as long as they can graduate, they will be the military backbone of our Ming army in the future, and even the top generals of the next generation. ”
After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room for a while.
Mainly......
Zhu Yuan's words were too straightforward.
For example, one of them, 'the next generation of top generals', is going to come out of this military university, then, most likely, in the future...... Those who lead the army in the army are no longer the traditional sons and daughters of nobles.
It's a bit uncomfortable.
However, what Zhu Yuan said was also reasonable, and Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu found that they had no way to refute it.
If you don't agree and the matter spreads, you will offend all the low-level generals and colonels in the Ming army. What's more, from the bottom of their hearts, neither of them can do this kind of thing for the soldiers who fight together.
Therefore, the question of the future is actually quite simple.
If you want to maintain the status of the nobles in the army, then you must drive and rush to let your own children enter this military university, and you must also learn it.
Lao Zhu smiled and listened to his baby twenty-third grandson finish talking about the matter, and then swept to his two favorite generals, waiting for them to digest for a moment before speaking: "Yuchun, Youde, Yuan'er's words, what do you two think?" ”
How is it?
The lord of his family asked, even though he had some other thoughts in his heart, the two generals nodded in approval.
If you don't approve it, you can't do it.
Lao Zhu then turned to Zhu Yuan: "In this case, let's continue, talk about how to screen students, and ...... That Jinling University, that series of majors, this military university should also have it, let's talk about it. ”
