My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 40 Building the Military Academy

Zhu Youxiao waited until Yang Hao was brought out of prison before announcing the meeting between Chen Ce and Chen Yin.

"The last general, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Zunyi, Chen Ce, respectfully invites the Holy One."

"The last general, Chen Yin, the commander-in-chief of Zunyi, respectfully greets the Holy Ann."

After being brought into the lobby, the two of them bowed.

"Two old generals, please get up quickly."

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Youxiao motioned to the young eunuch to help the two of them up.

And Yang Hao was kneeling.

"Two old generals have guarded the border for the country for many years. Last year, the Saarhu suffered a disastrous defeat. Xiong Tingbi had no generals to guard the border, so he specially sent two generals to go north. Now that the situation in Liaodong is gradually stabilizing, I also need two old generals to do something for me. , I hereby transfer you two back to Beijing, you two won’t blame me.”

"I dare not wait."

Hearing this, Chen Ce and Chen Yin, who were helped up by the eunuch, quickly raised their hands and said.

After the civil war in Tumu Fort, the power of civil servants rose, the Xungui Group was suppressed, and even the generals had their bones ripped out (Xungui in the Ming Dynasty were either relatives or martial artists). These days, few people think highly of these warriors.

Are there any generals in the late Ming Dynasty?

Yes, and there are many.

At this time, not to mention the young men who gradually emerged later, they were the generals who participated in the three major campaigns in the late Ming Dynasty. Although they were old and dead, some of them were still alive in the world.

Chen Ce and Chen Yin are two of them.

But why was there suddenly a shortage of generals during the Tianqi years?

The problem lies specifically in the handover between Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai.

In the 47th year of Wanli, Saarhu was defeated miserably, and Xiong Tingbi was ordered to clean up the mess left by Yang Hao.

After arriving in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi discovered that the military and political affairs in Liaodong had been ruined by Gao Huai and Li Chengliang, and were rotten to the core. The army could not be sent out to fight at all.

In this case, Xiong Tingbi gritted his teeth and wrote a memorial to Wanli asking for the generals and soldiers.

Then Wanli was also very happy. The last three thousand Qi family troops led by Qi Jin, the three thousand Zhejiang soldiers newly recruited by Zhang Mingshi, the five thousand (some say three thousand) white pole soldiers led by Qin Bangping and Qin Minping, as well as the large and small More than 70 generals.

In short, just one sentence, as long as Xiong Tingbi wants it, I will give it to you.

Xiong Tingbi asked for 72 generals, and Wanli gave 71.

What?There is one less?
Oh, I forgot to mention before that Qian Shizhen from Nanhaizi assisted Xu Guangqi in training troops was the one Xiong Tingbi wanted to give him.

Then, Wanli died, Taichang and Tianqi came to power, but they were deceived by the court officials and were replaced by Xiong Tingbi.

During the Liao-Shen War, most of the generals transferred to the north were killed or injured.

"Yang Hao, do you know your guilt?"

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Hao coldly and asked.

“I’ve humiliated my country by defeating the army, and I deserve death.”

Hearing the sound, Yang Hao immediately knocked his head to the ground.

Regarding Liaodong, he was too aggressive.

There were more than 20 general officers and tens of thousands of elite soldiers on three sides, and he gave them all away at once.

"You are worthy of death. I wish I could peel your skin off and cramp your muscles."

Smashing the teacup in his hand on the table, Zhu Youxiao asked in a deep voice.

"Are you loyal to Ming Dynasty and me?"

"My loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and to Your Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty and will never complain."

He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the sound of strings, and when he heard the emperor's words, as a civil servant, especially one who had already stepped into the gate of hell, Yang Hao's reaction was quite quick.

He immediately confessed that being useful to the emperor was his only bargaining chip to survive now.

"Humph."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao snorted again and looked at Chen Ce and Chen Yindao again.

"In our Ming Dynasty, both civil and military examinations were promoted. However, the civil examinations had the Imperial College, but the military examinations were directly conferred. I thought it was inappropriate. I wanted to imitate the Imperial College and set up a military academy to teach generals. I wonder if the two generals would be willing to submit?"

Hearing this, Chen Ce and Chen Yin looked at each other and quickly handed over their hands.

"I am willing." There was no military examination in the Ming Dynasty at first, and it was only officially confirmed in the hands of Zhu Jianshen, Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty.

The great treacherous eunuch Wang Zhi, the official of Xichang Factory, felt that the capital camp at that time was dominated by the civil servants of the dynasty, so he came up with a crooked trick to "bewitch" Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen. In the 14th year of Chenghua's reign, he decided to The martial arts examination has a fixed format, which is held every three years. The rural examination is the martial arts examination, and the martial arts examination is the general examination.

But when his filial son and grandson Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty came to power, Emperor Xiaozong stopped taking the martial arts examinations. From then on, there were only martial arts examiners, not martial arts scholars, and the martial arts examinations were changed to one subject every six years.

Then it was not until the Longqing period, when Gao Gong withstood the huge wind force, that Wu Jinshi was restored again, and the time was changed to one subject every three years.

"Yang Hao, I asked Dai Zui to make meritorious service and take the lead in establishing the Wulue Academy. Can you do it?"

"I will do my best to accomplish this for the Emperor."

After hearing that the emperor asked him to build a place to train military generals, Yang Hao quickly agreed.

"I will give you a statement."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao took out a small book from the table, which contained some of Zhu Youxiao's ideas for the Wulu Academy.

After the eunuch handed the notebook to the three of them, Zhu Youxiao continued.

"I asked the inner court to allocate 50 taels of silver to you. You can choose an address and a construction site in the capital. You can buy whatever is lacking. In addition, I will allow you to recruit minor officials in the capital. If you need anything, just report it to me directly."

"The ministers obey the order."

Hearing this, the three people quickly held their hands together.

"Yang Hao, there are three key points in this matter that you must remember."

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what Yang Hao's ability was, so he warned him with some worry.

After all, this guy went to jail to eat melon seeds after the defeat of Saarhu in history.

When he came out again, it was already the Chongzhen period.

What?What are you doing out here?

He came out and took Chongzhen's sword and beheaded him in public.

"First, be stable. The outer court will definitely oppose this matter with all its strength. But you must understand that this world belongs to Ming Dynasty and mine. What I want to do must be accomplished. No one dares to stop it. , Kill without mercy."

"Second, be good. The Wulue Academy is the training place for future generals of the Ming Dynasty. The content of the teaching, the teaching time, and how to inspect it. After the three of you discuss it, you can give me a memorial."

"Third, be quick. I will give you two months to prepare for this matter. In two months, Wu Lue Academy will start recruiting students."

"Do you understand?"

"The minister understands."

Hearing how seriously the emperor attached this matter, the three people responded quickly.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked the three of them to go down and do their work.

Watching the three people leave, Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought.

Yang Hao was unable to solve the Liaodong issue, and Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong were involved in the Liaodong issue now.

If that doesn't work, force Yuan Keli through.

No matter how bad he is, he will be like in history, losing Liaoyang and Shenyang, what can he do?

As for Yang Hao, a defeated general, some people have long been clamoring to kill Yang Hao.

Now, the only one who can protect Yang Hao from death is him, the emperor.

So he is not afraid that Yang Hao will not work hard.

A guilty official can be chopped off with a knife if he doesn't work hard.

As for whether Yang Hao's establishment of the Military Academy will lead to cliques and rebellion.

is the problem?

He was a defeated general, so he had no dignity in the eyes of the generals who came to receive training, okay?

The people in charge were two generals, Chen Ce and Chen Yin. Yang Hao was the archway hanging at the door to attract criticism and absorb the firepower of civilian officials.

"Go and let the news spread in the capital of Dongchang that Yang Hao wrote a letter in prison, suggesting that I build a military academy to train generals."
