The ten characters of Douda fall on the rice paper.

The eyes of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, the emperor and the princes were all fixed on these ten characters, with their brows furrowed and thinking, as if they contained a power that was difficult for them to see through.

"Master Immortal, does this sentence mean to inspire the patriotism of the soldiers?"

"No, reject brainwashing and reject PUA."

‘PUA?’

These emperors and princes were all stunned, what does this mean?

Ji Boying glanced at Emperor Hong Xi who said this. The fat man looked honest and a little cute, and he liked to do this.

PUA cakes, the source of all evil, are a devastation to human nature.

"A spirit of scarcity can only last for one generation, not even the military system."

Looking past the group of emperors and princes who looked puzzled, Ji Boying took a deep breath.

Although he is not from the history department, he has been interested in history since he was able to read. From the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, from official history to unofficial history, he has dabbled in all dynasties.

From the history books, no matter which dynasty it is, as long as it involves the military system, Ji Boying will frown.

In Ji Boying's view, the army should not be a sword in the hands of the dynasty, but the patron saint who protects the dynasty.

"First of all, I want to explain one thing about the national faith I am talking about here."

"You can take it literally. The country's faith does not refer to the faith of the soldiers in the country, but the faith of the country in the soldiers. This must not be reversed."

"People often say that only when there is a country, there is a family, but that is for the common people. For the army, only when there is an army, there is a country. A country without a strong army has no sovereignty at all. A country without sovereignty has no sovereignty.

Can we call it a country?!"

"Especially you, you must understand one thing clearly. It is not the soldiers who rely on the country, but the country who relies on the soldiers."

"Therefore, there is only one thing we have to do, from top to bottom, establish the country's faith in the soldiers, and use the country's faith in the soldiers to breed the iron-blooded military soul of your Ming Dynasty."

The words fell.

Everyone was shocked.

‘It’s not that the soldiers rely on the country, but that the country relies on the soldiers.’

‘The country’s faith in its soldiers gave birth to the iron-blooded military soul belonging to the Ming Dynasty.’

These two sentences completely overturned their previous inherent understanding of the army, and they remained in the hearts of Lao Zhu and others for a long time.

But Lao Zhu can actually understand it best, because he first had an army and then a country.

The first person to respond from the theory was Zhu Biao.

"Master Immortal, how can we establish the country's faith in its soldiers and create an iron-blooded military spirit unique to the Ming Dynasty?"

"And how to equip the corresponding physical military system to ensure the strong combat power of the army within the maximum time limit."

A Biao's question made everyone present hold their breath and concentrate, for fear of missing any word Ji Boying said.

"Listen carefully, I will only say the next key points once."

Ji Boying stood on the podium with his hands behind his back, looking in all directions.

"The first point is to abolish the military household system and loosen the shackles on the hearts of soldiers; the second point is to greatly improve the social status of military personnel at the national level, such as abolishing military confinement in the criminal law, so that the military becomes a lifelong career that young adults aspire to; the third point is to

, Strictly select the sources of troops, and all those who join the army must be sons of three generations of good families; the fourth point is to establish a large number of specialized military academies across the country to train professional soldiers; the fifth point is to strictly enforce military discipline and law, both in the station and in daily activities.

There is a complete separation between the military and civilians, and those who offend the civilians will be severely punished."

"As for the military system."

"First, the simplest and most direct recruitment system can be used as a source of troops in the initial stage. When the martial arts trend takes shape in the country and military personnel become a profession respected by society, it can be changed to a military service system."

"Second, establish several military regions across the country, and separate the top decision-making level of each military region from the power to command troops and the power to recommend promotions."

"Third, the training of the army belongs to the respective military regions. The right to command during wartime, the right to promote and dispatch soldiers, and the right to allocate military supplies and equipment all belong to the imperial court. The top decision-making level of each military region is mobilized once every three years."

"Fourth, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, limit the enlistment period of ordinary soldiers. This period can be set by you. It is recommended to set it at five to ten years."

"Fifth, the state shall bear all daily training expenses of the army, and provide sergeants with a salary sufficient to support a family, so that soldiers can train in the army with peace of mind."

"The fifth point is important to mention. Before you implement the military reform, you must wait until the national treasury is extremely abundant. In other words, you must wait until you return from conquering Japan and have a large amount of silver in your hands, and the court is no longer short of money."
p>

Speak very quickly.

After Ji Boying finished speaking, these emperors and princes were in a daze. Many of these measures were unheard of and completely out of bounds.

Except for the last sentence, which is to wait until the national treasury is sufficient before implementing military reforms, I didn’t remember much else.

"If you don't understand, go back and digest it yourself."

"In addition, everything I just said is just basic logic. After you go back, you must make adjustments based on your current situation and develop a military system that best suits you."

"Furthermore, even if the national treasury is abundant, you should not be impatient when changing the military system, especially the later dynasties. This must be a process that lasts for several years or even ten years."

When he said this, he especially glanced at Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande.

After saying this, Ji Boying waved his hand.

"This is the end of the first observation practice class."

"Before get out of class ends, let me preview the content of the next two classes."

Picking up the pen, Ji Boying folded his body and wrote two lines on the rice paper.

"How silver is used and why a dynasty's finances collapse"

"Looking at history from the perspective of morality - a Ming war god who was tried hard to discredit by civil servants"

Originally, according to Ji Boying's order, the second practical observation class should first explore the private life of Emperor Chenghua, but since we have already met Jiajing, a flashback would have a different flavor.

Regardless of the expressions on the faces of these emperors and princes, Ji Boying walked down from the podium, climbed up the mahogany stairs, and returned to the private room on the top of the pavilion.

Today's class was really tiring, going back and forth.

After a long time, the group of emperors and princes sitting in their seats finally calmed down, and everyone took a few deep breaths.

"The Immortal Master just spoke too fast, I only remembered a small part of it, what should I do now?"

Hong Xi said with a sad look on his fat face.

Old Zhu Di, Old Zhu, and A Biao also frowned, obviously they did not remember it completely.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my master has already considered this. Sister Lianxiang is already copying this part quickly and it will be handed over to you later."

After Xiyu said this, the emperors discovered that Lianxiang, who was responsible for delivering the pen, had been writing hard.

"So good!"

Zhu Biao took a long breath. He was mentally prepared and planned to go upstairs to find the immortal master to open a small stove for him. As a model of learning, he felt that he should have this privilege.

Others also looked happy, and they all stood up and prepared to leave.

"The master has an order, please finish copying the biography and practice records before leaving~"

Xiyu stopped with a smile.

All of a sudden, the emperor and the princes were all stunned, and their faces looked a little ugly.

They (except Zhu Gaochi) would rather go out and run three thousand meters than sit here and copy books.

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot about this. Listen to us. After you finish copying the book that my brother gave you, we will watch it here. If anyone dares to miss a word, I will give it to you with a stick."

Lao Zhu picked up the mace in one hand and instantly became a supervisor of violent book copying.

Everyone gritted their teeth and sat back down. They could only pick up their pens and continue copying.

Lao Zhu was holding a mace in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. After wandering for a few steps, he walked to the rice paper panel and looked at the four characters "God of War of the Ming Dynasty" on it.

"It's the God of War again."

"Biao'er, what do you think is the difference between this God of War and Zhu Qizhen?"

The only ones exempted from copying are Lao Zhu and A Biao. The two father and son stood in front of the rice paper panel on the podium, looking at the line "A Ming God of War who was tried hard to discredit by civil servants", and couldn't help but frown.<

/p>

In Lao Zhu's view, the Ming Dynasty was already in trouble if there was such a Ming War God like Zhu Qizhen. The national destiny was cut in half, the imperial capital was besieged by foreigners, and the country was almost wiped out.

If this happened again, wouldn't it mean that the country would be destroyed directly?

"Go back to my father, I don't know."

"But it will be revealed naturally when classes start tomorrow, so don't worry."

Lao Zhu nodded.

"Well, we'll find out tomorrow."

Lao Zhu is full of expectations for tomorrow.

At this time, the elegant room on the top of the pavilion.
