Chapter 36 Martial Arts Lecture Hall

Zhou Mengchen saw all this in his heart, but he had to compromise.

After all, in Zhou Mengchen's opinion, the Ming Dynasty's official system was problematic. For example, as a senior official in the area, if he wanted to do business, he had to run a team of staff of hundreds of people. Even this team was not enough at some point.

Moreover, Zhou Mengchen's aides were not ordinary people. The chief of staff Xu Wei, a generation of Wenzong, and Lu Yi's achievements in economics were also far away from his peers. He Xinyin was also a sensible figure.

If these people are not lucky or have some flaws in their own way, it will be no problem to be a six-department official with their abilities. As for the following, most of their staff are heroes at the moment, but their talents are just buried in this era where imperial examinations are the top priority.

Just like Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang's shogunate, there were countless influential figures in the shogunate. It was simply too many to count. The same was true in the shogunate of Zhou Mengchen.

Since you have the ability to go far to your peers, you naturally have to give the same treatment.

Zhou Mengchen could not stop him, and his followers slowly evolved into an interest group.

Zhou Mengchen ignored these things and told the last question to Xu Wei and He Xinyin. He said: "Today we are defeated and lost to the capital, which is a foregone conclusion. But it is not wronged to Xu Jie. He was just beaten and was not afraid of it. But he must be clear about why, and he will never commit it again next time."

"Although the problem of river management is difficult, I still have some confidence. No matter how completely eradicates the problem of the Yellow River, it is OK to create decades of quietness. However, after we deal with the problem of the river, how should we return to Beijing? Do we really waste ten years on the river? Wait until Xu Jie retreats?"

"I'm absolutely unwilling to give up."

"The two gentlemen are my think tanks, so please find a path for me."

After saying that, Zhou Mengchen bowed deeply.

Xu Wei and He Xinyin immediately stood up and said, "My Lord said this, I will kill me and wait. The Lord is humiliating the minister to die. It is supposed to be. We will definitely find a way to get the master back."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Then please."

The problem of the Yellow River is a problem in specific matters. No matter how difficult it is, Zhou Mengchen is not too worried. Pan Jixun can manage it well, and Zhou Mengchen is confident to do better.

But facing Xu Jie.

Zhou Mengchen was a little passive. In terms of power and strategy, only Jiajing was the only one who could compete with Xu Jie. Even Jiajing was not good. It was because of Zhou Mengchen's invasion that Jiajing was healthy. In history, Jiajing's health was no longer good. In the forty years of Jiajing, he was critically ill and almost never went there. It was precisely because of this that Yan Song was moved by Xu Jie after 40 years of Jiajing. Even Jiajing gave in to Xu Jie in some matters and asked Xu Jie for it.

Of course, Xu Jie was naturally frightened and claimed to be a death sentence.

Everyone knows a truth: Anyone who claims to be a death sentence will either not be able to die, or even if he is a death sentence, you cannot kill me.

As for which Xu Jie is, I don’t know.

Now Xu Jie is actually Jiajing's opponent. Now it seems that Gao Gong is emerging. In fact, behind Gao Gong is the crown prince, and behind the crown prince is Jiajing. Jiajing has no support in front of Xu Jie, which has forced Jiajing to frequently iterate and change candidates. Gao Gong's status is becoming more and more important.

Of course, this also has Zhou Mengchen's own problem. Zhou Mengchen is relatively righteous in terms of power and conspiracy. Not good at conspiracy is a trick. But the weak defeats the strong is needed. Zhou Mengchen's strength is far inferior to Xu Jie, who is inside and Zhou Mengchen is outside. In this way, Zhou Mengchen seems to be unable to find any breakthrough.

This made Zhou Mengchen rack his brains, and even secretly grew a few white hairs in his hair, he couldn't think of any way to do it. He could not beat Xu Jie once. Zhou Mengchen should not try to enter the power field of the center.

Beijing-Beijing, it is difficult to get out and come in.

Xu Wei and He Xinyin had no choice for a while, and this problem became the biggest problem hanging over Zhou Mengchen's team.

Jiajing was very interested in military reform, so things were moving forward very quickly.

Within a few days, the prince sent someone to invite Zhou Mengchen to attend the opening ceremony of the martial arts lecture hall with him.

To be honest, the establishment of the martial arts lecture hall is a very simple question.

There are many ready-made venues in Beijing. There is no need to choose another place at all. Just choose some generals.

There are many old soldiers in the Jingying who have participated in the Battle of Datong. Although the quality of the Jingying is not as good as Heshuo Town, it does not mean that some qualified candidates cannot be selected in the Jingying.

If you train senior generals, you will naturally be a little short of difficulty. However, it is OK to train lower-level officers.

Moreover, Zhou Mengchen didn’t know what to do about how to train senior generals? Most of the senior generals under Zhou Mengchen’s command are fighting on the battlefield. Students from Datong Academy rarely get to the position of senior generals. Even if they can, they are more of their own efforts, rather than what they learn in Datong Academy.

Therefore, the martial arts lecture hall is also very pragmatic. The goal is to train low- and middle-aged generals with less than a thousand households.

For Li Ru, this is very easy.

Yes, the person who presided over the martial arts lecture hall was Li Ru, and the martial arts lecture hall was the crown prince.

At the founding ceremony of the martial arts lecture hall, Zhou Mengchen sat on the top and watched the ceremony, looking at the students below clearly divided. Some were the lower-level generals of the Beijing camp, the other was the officers of the garrison, and even some distant relatives of the royal relatives after the Wuxun, etc.

This made Zhou Mengchen feel a little uncomfortable.

In Zhou Mengchen's design, this is the highest military academy of the Ming Dynasty. However, such student qualities are difficult to satisfy Zhou Mengchen.

But what made Zhou Mengchen even more dissatisfied was Li Ru. During this period, Li Ru almost interrupted all contact with the Zhou Mansion. Generally speaking, it was a family of the same family and all kinds of etiquette were very complicated.

Just like in various solar terms, the Duke of Feng will send some gifts to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family will also return gifts, not to mention that both parties are in-laws. Zhou Mengchen felt guilty in his heart for arranging Zhou Datong's marriage early.

After all, for Zhou Mengchen himself, the concept of free love has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is naturally wrong to arrange his son's marriage in this way. In order to make up for the harm to Zhou Datong, he meant that Zhou Datong was very close to Duke Feng's Mansion. When he was a child, he went to Duke Feng's Mansion to see his future wife for a long time. Even when he was tired of playing, he could just live in Duke Feng's Mansion.

I hope the two children can be childhood sweethearts.

Not to mention anything else, after Zhou Datong went south, he had been in contact with the Duke of Feng's mansion, but now the letters have been cut off.

I understand the meaning of it anymore.

When the prince stood on the high platform and spoke to the students in the martial arts hall.

Zhou Mengchen and Li Ru sat side by side.

Listening to the prince talking on it. Although the prince was considered a fool by Jiajing and was not worthy of me, the prince's ability was not too bad. Because he received education, even above some ordinary people, at least he was not at all nervous in such a speech. He was also quite good.

But Jiajing used his own standards to measure the prince, and the prince could only be a fool.

Li Ru said: "Send someone to my house and pick up the little girl."

Zhou Mengchen said lightly: "What do you mean?"

Li Ru said: "I just don't want to make things difficult for you and me."

Zhou Mengchen said: "In a difficult situation? Will I make things difficult for a child?"

Li Ru said: "Your stinky boy has entered my daughter's boudoir. Can she still marry someone else? Naturally, I don't worry about you making things difficult for the child. I worry that our marriage will have another setback in the future. Instead of doing this, it's better to have a good time."

Zhou Mengchen was silent for a while. Although the two children were still young, it would not be impossible if he insisted on holding the wedding. He just said: "Datong is not in the capital recently, so you don't know."

Li Ru said: "I didn't say I wanted to get married, I just sent it to your house for maintenance."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Isn't this too slandering my niece?"

There was no wedding and I was given to my husband's house. In this case, it would be too much to cause the woman. It was almost the same as taking a concubine.
