Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

When the whole town of Liao has unified their will, it is naturally very simple to do one thing.

Under Yuan Chonghuan's operation, a secret mission of Hou Jin also arrived in Ningyuan.

I am afraid no one knows what was discussed except Yuan Chonghuan and Liaodong General.

But when the Houjin mission returned, many weapons, food and grass that had been blocked by the court also appeared in the territory of Houjin.

A large amount of white money also flowed into the pockets of Liaodong generals and generals.

Of course, what is indispensable is the occasional war. As for how many enemies are killed...

In this area of ​​Liaodong, human life is worthless!

Ever since, on the surface, it seemed that you came to my place, and the Liaodong battle was fought with great vigor, but secretly, it was unprecedentedly harmonious!

And all of this, except for the top figures in Liaozhen and Houjin, no one knows...

From supporting bandits to self-respect, to carrying bandits to self-respect, and now, Liaodong has undoubtedly opened a new chapter.

That is to communicate with Kou secretly about the song, to hide the truth...

Chapter 197 A new chapter in Liaodong

Chapter 198 Martial Academy

"Commander Li Erdong of the Fenwu Camp, Deputy General Wu Xuanwu, and Chief Qian Hong Mingtang gathered people to drink and gamble during the camp's big parade, ignoring the military law's prohibition. According to Article [-] of the Beijing Camp Military Regulations, they were sentenced to beheading, and the heads were circulated. The whole army, set an example to others!"

In the camp of the Beijing Army, a repertoire that has been staged countless times is also staged again.

Violation of military discipline, beheading for public display!

In the sight of all the soldiers, a few sword lights fell, and a few heads also rolled to the ground, and the blood that followed, like a spring, once again added some blood to the brown-red ground. Very bright and dazzling.

On the high platform of the school field, Li Xiu watched this scene silently, his expression indifferent, without any fluctuation at all.

The army of this era is doomed to have no spiritual beliefs. Even if there are, there are only a very small number of them, such as the loyalty of soldiers and family members to individuals.

Therefore, if an army wants to become an elite, the implementation of discipline must be strictly implemented, and it cannot be deviated in the slightest!

Obviously, the implementation of discipline is cruel.

Human nature is inherently evil, and there will always be a large number of ignorant people who break the law with their own bodies, and then use their own lives to add a bit of majesty to the military law and discipline. Bit by bit, the military law and discipline will be shaped, and finally deeply Carry it out to the hearts of every soldier.

But in today's Beijing camp, there are much more such ignorant people than in the Yongwei camp back then.

Among them, Xungui undoubtedly accounted for the vast majority. To be precise, it was the group of people who were once attached to Xungui. There is a feeling of hard work.

After all, today is not what it used to be. Once the power is removed, it may not be so easy to get it back in the future. Therefore, they are doing it for their own good, for the sake of the family, or have ulterior motives. At least, they are already honest. If you stay in the strict system set by Li Xiu, if you can use it for Li Xiu, that's fine...

Looking around the audience, the stretch of tents stretched all the way to the sky, with soldiers swaying and drums rumbling, each battalion was majestic and majestic!

Such a large army will be completed bit by bit under my own control. This feeling is really intoxicating.

And this time, it was different from the previous carving out of the Yongwei Battalion. At that time, it could only be regarded as a tactical force at most, but now, it is a real strategic force!

Enough to intimidate the Quartet, deter evildoers, and sweep the world down!

A man was born in this world, to be able to command and control such an army, this life is enough!

At this moment, compared to Li Xiu's ambition, the British Duke standing beside Li Xiu has an extremely complicated expression.

Once upon a time, he was also the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng. He thought that his life would be like every previous governor of the Jingying Rongzheng. He would be honored and favored until the end of his life.

But no one would have imagined that once the situation changes, everything will change drastically!

What Yu Shaobao failed to do his best back then, but now, this young man who is less than ten years old in front of him has done it!

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Qian should be the eldest son of the old Duke!"

At this moment, Li Xiu suddenly pointed to a general on the side of the school field, looked at Zhang Weixian and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Weixian was stunned for a moment, and his face was full of embarrassment at random, the son of a dignified prince has become a thousand boss, it is really shameful!

But even he couldn't say a word of no.

You know, Li Xiu asked him to preside over the evaluation of honorable generals in order to stabilize people's hearts.

Assessed according to the rules, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he has no face to cover up his son.

His performance was too poor, he was demoted to a second class, and became the little chief executive of a thousand. Now, seeing that the next assessment is coming, judging by his performance, he might not even be able to keep his position as chief executive!

"The dog is stupid, but the general makes you laugh!"

Li Xiu didn't mean to ridicule at all, on the contrary, he said very solemnly: "The one who controls the soldiers must know the soldiers and understand the soldiers in order to be able to command the soldiers."

"There are not many people who are born geniuses, who are born to lead thousands of armies..."

Hearing this, the British Duke's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. Obviously, he waited for Li Xiu to talk about the topic before replying.

"This general wants to report to the emperor, establish a martial arts academy, select elite and courageous soldiers from the army, teach martial arts and art of war, and enhance the military quality of soldiers and generals. What do you think, Duke?"

Hearing this, the Duke of England couldn't help but lamented again in his heart, my lord, how long has it been quiet, the bloody storm has not dissipated, and troubles are about to happen again!

Lamentation is lamentation, now that Li Xiu has pulled him onto the horse, there is no possibility of dismounting again, so he can only bite the bullet and continue walking.

"The matter of the Martial Academy is of great importance, and it is better to have a long-term plan."

Although Zhang Weixian didn't speak clearly, Li Xiu naturally understood what Zhang Weixian meant. In this era, any system change is not a trivial matter.

What's more, it was in the era of prosperous civilization in Daming!

If there is any movement, it will cause a group of scholar-bureaucrats to attack.

Of course, Zhang Weixian was worried about these problems, but for Li Xiu, these problems were naturally not a problem.

The bloody wind has not dissipated, but he still holds the knife in his hand!

He was eager to try, but he didn't know who would dare to hit him head-on.

If you don't take advantage of this time to decide what you are going to do, and then talk about it later, it will be troublesome.

Now, what Li Xiu thinks is no longer the reaction from the outside world. In his heart, the establishment of the martial arts academy is a foregone conclusion.

Asking the Duke of England is just to give the only surviving Duke a little face. After all, he is also in charge of the military in the Beijing camp now, and there are not a few remnants of nobles gathered under his command.

What Li Xiu is thinking about now is already thinking about the structure and organization of this martial arts academy, its operation method, and the impact it will have after it takes shape.

According to his expectation,

The generals will select elite and courageous men from the army, divide them into two groups, and the soldiers will be admitted to the hospital. After passing their studies, they will return to the army to serve as generals at the bottom.

As for the group of generals, it can be regarded as further training to further improve the military quality of the current generals in the army.

With both approaches, there is no doubt that in just a few years, this army will have a qualitative improvement, and it is comparable to any army in this era.

The most important thing is that his eyes can't be limited to the Beijing Army's one-third of an acre of land. How vast is the Ming Dynasty, and the military power that has not been included in the field of vision is also incomparably huge!

When the Martial Academy became a system, it became the norm, and then spread from this one-third of an acre of land to the entire Ming Dynasty.

At that time, even if drastic actions are not taken, the military academy as the fulcrum, coupled with the authority and righteousness of the imperial court, will be enough to easily leverage the military power of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the existence of the Martial Academy has another extremely important function, which is to break the monopoly of the class and give the soldiers at the bottom, or the common people, a new way out!

A country can respect culture, but it must not suppress martial arts. It can be noble, but it must not be cheap!

But this phenomenon is destined not to be resolved in a short period of time, and the existence of the Martial Academy is an existence that Li Xiu hopes to speed up the change of this phenomenon.

Moreover, the existence of the Martial Academy will also be of great help to Li Xiu himself, to control the army under his command, and even to control the entire military equipment of the Ming Dynasty in the future...

Chapter 198 Martial Academy

Chapter 199 Organization

The so-called martial arts, that is, military schools, throughout history, there are also many records preserved, and scenes of political struggles have also been written.

For example, Fu Jian, the former Qin emperor, established a martial arts hall in Weicheng, an important place on land and water, to train generals, but in the end it was opposed by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and had to be disbanded.

For example, in the Song Dynasty, under the auspices of Fan Zhongyan, the Great Song Wuxue was held, but it only lasted 95 days, and then closed down.

After 30 years, Wang Anshi started martial arts again. This time, he gained a firm foothold, and it is the only martial arts in history that has been implemented throughout the history of the dynasty.

However, this martial art has not brought much change to the Song Dynasty's military. It should be defeated or defeated, should kneel or kneel. It is the most fundamental reason to be ashamed of talking about swords.

Of course, the most important thing is that the martial arts of the Song Dynasty were handled by literati, and there was not a single martial artist who could hold the field.

In this way, it is only natural that it does not work.

As for Daming, Wei Wu Xue was once established, but under the general environment of Daming's military household system and hereditary military titles, it has long been lonely.

In fact, judging from the records of the establishment of these martial arts in history, it is not difficult to see that the existence of martial arts has all-round resistance.

The art of war can slay dragons.

The ruler, or the Son of Heaven, does not need so many people who are good at this way. The existence of natural birth is enough to maintain the rule. If there are too many, it will spread too widely, but it will be a disaster.

As for civil officials, of course, it goes without saying that warriors are vulgar. At this time, since the prosperity of literati, or the prosperity of Confucianism, an inherent impression has been formed.

Warriors have martial arts, so what do we need literati?Come and fight for power and profit with their literati?

As for the group of warriors, their sons have always inherited their father's business, and they belong to a family of generals, but a ruling class is like a radish and a pit, and few people are willing to let outsiders take a share of the pie.

Therefore, looking at thousands of years of history, it is rare to see the existence of successful systems and effective martial arts.

But now, Li Xiu wants to start martial arts. Although these problems still exist, it is not too difficult to promote the establishment of this matter, no matter in terms of the general environment or personal power and prestige.

After all, nowadays, the Ministry of War and the cabinet have no binding force on Li Xiu, and even, to a certain extent, Li Xiu has great binding force on the court and civil servants.

Therefore, although the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy has obstacles, in today's general environment, the civil servants themselves are hard to protect. Although there are objections, they can't hinder anything, and everything is advancing in an orderly manner.

In fact, it's not surprising that the courtiers secretly called Li Xiu Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang's ilk. Li Xiu's way of doing things now is actually no different from Dong Zhuo and his ilk.

They were all intimidated by soldiers, with knives on their necks, and no one wanted to be a victim of a knife.

The only difference is that the emperor above Li Xiu still holds real power and can make Li Xiu obey his orders.

Apart from that, it is true that the courtiers secretly slandered everything.

Under such deterrence, a court meeting in March of the second year of Chongzhen completely embedded the new institution of the Martial Academy into the ruling class of Ming Dynasty.

The Daming Martial Academy, located in the same position as Guozijian, was divided into left and right courtyards, the left courtyard was for generals to study, and the right courtyard was for soldiers to be recruited.

For the time being, only supervisors are recruited in the army, with a period of two years, and the temporary purpose is to provide excellent generals for the army.

As for the curriculum of the martial arts school, according to the difference between the left and right schools, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The left school is more inclined to command the army in combat and military strategy, while the right school pays more attention to practicality, focusing on battle formation and military practice.

Obviously, just looking at this structure, it can be seen that Li Xiu's expectations for the Martial Academy are by no means comparable to that of the Imperial Academy.

After all, the Guozijian does not have the functional power for officials to study.

But in the Martial Academy, Li Xiu made it a system.

In this way, although the Martial Academy is only a small official fourth-rank institution, it is clear that at least under Li Xiu's control, its power is definitely not less than that of the so-called Chinese Army Commander's Mansion!

The affairs of the court were passed, and the preparations for the Martial Academy were fully launched. In the army, Li Xiu had always kept his promises, and following all the orders, he built a martial arts academy at an extremely fast speed. frame.

As for the location of the Martial Arts Academy, it is more interesting. Originally, according to Li Xiu's idea, it was near the capital, and he could choose a hill at random, but this time, Zhu Youjian made a rare decision on this matter.

The Imperially-designated Daming Martial Arts Academy is located at Polu Mountain, Fangshan County, on the outskirts of Beijing!

Fangshan was originally just a small county with no name, but following the great victory in Fangshan at the beginning, it has become famous all over the country.

And Polu Mountain is the main battlefield of Fangshan's great victory, that is, the unnamed mountain at the beginning. After the victory, the emperor personally named this mountain Polu Mountain!

There is also a saying that Fangshan's destruction of captives is the beginning of the revival of the Ming Dynasty!

With such a decision, Li Xiu has no objection. Fangshan is not too far away from the capital.

With the start of preparations for the establishment of the Martial Academy, Li Xiu dispatched a battalion of craftsmen to Polu Mountain to build a camp.

And the selection of the prison students also started accordingly, the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army, the Jingying, Jizhen, Xuanfu, and several large armies also followed Li Xiu's military order.

As for the other armies of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiu was also powerless, and his foundation was not stable, and he was unwilling to stretch his hands too far. Besides, the martial arts academy was first established, and everything had to wait until it got on the right track.

In fact, Li Xiu is very busy now!

In Jingjixuan Mansion, hundreds of thousands of troops are tightly held in their hands. It seems that they are majestic and powerful.

However, Li Xiu needed to make decisions on his own position, to manage his affairs, and to deal with 10 people. He was even more busy than the always diligent emperor.

Especially the two Zhou Yuji who were sent to manage Ji Town and Xuan Mansion. Strictly speaking, both of them can be said to be rushing ducks to the shelves.

Its own ability is far from reaching the level of governing a major town. In many cases, it needs Li Xiu to wipe their ass or give them a hand.

Of course, it wasn't just Zhou Yuji and Erwazi, most of the group of people who followed Li Xiu to take advantage of the situation at the beginning failed to grow to the ability that matched their status.

After all, the time is too short, from the founding of the army to the great battle, it only takes a long time to fight and count.

Besides, the Brave Guard Battalion back then had only a small number of troops, and there was no way to grow.
