Chapter 169: Lectures on Martial Arts
Living in this turbulent world, there is nothing that cannot be combined and disintegrated. As long as you look at what you care about, you can achieve your own goals in your own way.
For the Dongjiang Army at this stage, to be precise, it is Mao Wenlong's old troops. With the fall of Mao Wenlong, they are forced to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty, while at the same time feeling fear, resistance, and uneasiness.
state.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, from Emperor Taizu Gao to the Chongzhen dynasty, even though the Ming Dynasty has many bad policies and problems, the inheritance of the Zhengshuo dynasty is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, it is a small group of people who choose to rebel.
Before there was no way to survive, no one would risk beheading and rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Just like the bandit forces currently raging in Shaanxi, it was because of successive years of disasters and serious land annexation that there was no way to survive.
Choose to rebel.
"Back to the topic just now."
Looking at the people with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly: "I am determined to establish a martial arts hall in Xiyuan. You generals in charge of the army will help each other with the Yongwei camp, the generals of the avant-garde of the imperial army, and the Jingwei.
Cooperate with each other, learn from each other's strengths, and conduct short-term training lasting three months.
I will compile some teaching materials for the martial arts hall. How to help each other and how to learn from each other's strengths depends on whether you can accept each other.
According to my idea, the martial arts hall is initially divided into seven categories: infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, staff, military police, and education. Under the seven categories, the corresponding subject areas will be subdivided. I will order
The military aircraft department will be reorganized as soon as possible.
Before the Martial Arts Hall is officially established, you all should think carefully about which field you are good at, and then you can choose that branch for further study.
Three months later, I will organize a final exam.
Anyone who has achieved corresponding results and successfully graduated from the first short-term training class of Jiangwu Hall will be awarded the corresponding military rank based on the results obtained in the examination, as well as daily performance and previous military exploits.
As for those who have not achieved corresponding results, I will give them another chance to undergo one-year further study, and then conduct corresponding assessments."
If we want to make the Ming Dynasty's army rotten, it must have a different mental outlook, have lasting combat power, and cultivate a team of professional officers who are free from work, which is a path that must be taken.
Emperor Chongzhen had at best a vague understanding of army construction and the corresponding fields of the army. He was dissatisfied with everything and swayed with half a bottle. However, the main lines he knew were unmistakable.
The Cold Weapon Age will eventually be outlawed by the Hot Weapon Age, but now Emperor Chongzhen is faced with the question of how to cultivate a professional army of officers.
For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen thought of a compromise, and based on the central idea that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", he wrote down in detail what he knew one by one.
Generals such as Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu who were commanding troops abroad, newly promoted generals named Zhou Yuji, and a group of honorary disciples from the avant-garde of the government gathered in the martial arts hall established in Xiyuan, allowing them to switch between "teachers" and "teachers".
'Student' role.
Let them rub sparks in the collision, come to Wutang from time to time to inspect, and grasp the general direction without deflection, truly explore an officer training mechanism suitable for Ming Dynasty, and gradually clarify what they need to learn during the training of professional officers.
discipline.
"..."
Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and other Dongjiang generals all looked shocked after listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said. Are they being told to become scholars?
Influenced by Confucianism, the class division of 'scholars, farmers, industry and merchants' has been passed down from ancient times to the present and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Not everyone can study in Ming Dynasty.
Why do most of the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty look down on the generals who lead the troops in war?
The most important point is that in addition to the need for brave and skilled generals to conquer the world in the early days of the founding of the country and the founding of the dynasty, after so many years of peace, the way of sages respected by literati, the sense of superiority hidden in the bones, does not allow vulgarity.
Military generals hold military power and pose a threat to the country.
"You should think carefully about what I said."
Looking at the generals with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes and said: "Soon, the martial arts hall will be established, and you will also be selected to study in it.
Don’t think that I decided to establish it on a whim. The first batch of graduating generals will take important positions in the Fifth Army Camp, Shenji Camp, and Shenshu Camp, so please go down.”
"Here!"
Through Emperor Chongzhen's firm tone, Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu and other Dongjiang generals could clearly feel the emperor's determination and the importance he attached to the martial arts hall. They could no longer go back to Dongjiang Town, so the only way left was to stay in the army.
He went to the Wushu Hall to further his studies and strived to be assigned to work in the Beijing camp.
Thanks to what Emperor Chongzhen had done previously, Dongjiang generals such as Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu did not have any doubts or thoughts of persecution after listening to what he said, otherwise they would really start a chaos.
, then the capital city will definitely experience a military disaster.
After Chen Jisheng and the others left, Pang Tianshou stepped forward, raised his hands to Emperor Chongzhen who was standing with his hands behind his back, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Yuji is here."
"Call Cui'an to come over."
Since a martial arts hall is to be established, this newly formed army of officers must, in the early stages of the exploratory stage, proceed in the direction they want without making too many deviations.
Deep down in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen trusted Zhou Yuji more than Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu and other Dongjiang generals, but he could not show this.
After Cao Huayu was ordered to transfer generals such as Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenyao, Zuo Liangyu, and Huang Degong to Beijing and were transferred to the martial arts hall founded by Xiyuan, Emperor Chongzhen hoped that Zhou Yuji could take on the important task and call the martial arts hall a new place.
On the right track in collision.
The reason why the first short-term officer training course opened at the Martial Arts Hall established in Xiyuan was to specify a three-month training period.
On the one hand, it was based on his idea to reorganize the capital camp, and on the other hand, he wanted to send a group of trustworthy and capable generals to Dongjiang Town, and the leader was Zhou Yuji.
Liu Xingzuo should be reused, but there must be means to check and balance Liu Xingzuo, but they will not openly oppose Liu Xingzuo like Mao Wenlong's old department did.
Although Emperor Chongzhen personally conquered the Ming Dynasty and defeated the Jianlu invaders, and the threat of sudden foreign invasion was eliminated, this did not mean that Emperor Chongzhen had extra time to squander.
At least until the momentum of rebellion in the Ming Dynasty is truly stabilized, Emperor Chongzhen’s tight string cannot be relaxed in the slightest. Otherwise, no one knows whether the fate of hanging on the southeast branch will come again.
