Zhu Biao's expression changed. Although he didn't know the specific number of people in the pro-military captain's mansion now, he thought that the main force should be 50,000 to 60,000 people. They would then develop offline, search for intelligence, and form this huge spy agency.
The number of people may not seem large, but their penetration is extremely strong and they are distributed to many downlines. This allows Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor the world.
Now it's time to expand again, especially the more than 10,000 scouts, who are professional talents. In terms of military organization, scouts refer to mobile and flexible scouts who are mainly responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy and counter-enemy reconnaissance.
Of course, the division of labor in ancient times was not so detailed, so what a scout did was not just as simple as reconnaissance of the enemy. For example, in the army, he also had to go to the battlefield to find out information about the topography and geographical environment, and where the drinking water sources were. There are feasible roads drawn on military maps. Do you want to find the vanguard to open roads through mountains and build bridges over rivers?
Moreover, their mastery of fighting and weapons is better than others, and they are also very good at hiding. In raid battles, the role of scouts is to quietly deal with sentries and plan raid routes. In fact, they are just like the special forces of later generations, but they pay more attention to talent. , usually they will be selected after joining the army.
The father and son discussed for a while. The forces in the pro-military Duwei Mansion were already a bit chaotic. After all, it was just a grassroots organization. Reorganization was inevitable, but Zhu Yuanzhang planned to use this knife to do one last thing.
As for the matter of summoning composers, since Zhu Yuanzhang has already nodded, someone will naturally take care of it. To be honest, Zhu Biao has no time to watch. After all, he will leave the capital in a few days.
And this matter cannot be completed so quickly. Cultural identity is a subtle thing, and it is normal for it to take several years to be effective. However, this matter will not affect the Ming Dynasty, but all future generations.
"Cultural identity" is the positive recognition of the most meaningful things of the nation formed by people living together in a national community for a long time. Its core is the recognition of the basic values of a nation; it is the spiritual bond that unites this national community. It is the spiritual foundation for the continuation of the life of this national community. Therefore, cultural identity is an important foundation for national identity and national identity, and it is the deepest foundation.
Zhu Biao is the one who wants to start the Age of Discovery. An era of intermingling of nations is coming. Before that, Zhu Biao established cultural identity. In this way, when large-scale countries appear, whites and blacks will come with trade. By the Ming Dynasty, national identity and national identity were naturally established.
Perhaps in normal times, these things may not be of much use, but when the country and the nation are in crisis, the spiritual strength formed by identification is the key to the country and the nation surviving the crisis.
Zhu Biao had lunch with his father and then left. Zhu Yuanzhang had too many official duties. If he was delayed for a while, he would not have to sleep at night.
Zhu Biao had just given some words of advice, but Comrade Zhu Zuo spoke to him, and the underlying meaning behind his words revealed that when Zhu Biao came back this time, he was going to let him take over part of the government affairs in order to become proficient in government affairs.
Zhu Biao was lying when he said he was unhappy. Planning behind the scenes and running the government are two different things. Originally, Zhu Biao thought that he would have to wait until he was crowned before he could run the government. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity so soon.
Zhu Biao was already a little impatient. A faint smile appeared on his face, which was extremely sincere. As he was walking towards the East Palace, he saw the three brothers of the Zhu family walking quickly in the distance. An extremely immature and childish thought suddenly appeared in Zhu Biao's heart.
"As expected, I am the most favored cub by daddy."
The three brothers were also beaming with joy. When they saw Zhu Biao, they walked over quickly and saluted: "Congratulations to the eldest brother on your wedding!"
Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, His Highness King Jin, His Highness King Chu, and His Highness King Qi."
The three brothers' back molars were all out. On the day of the prince's wedding, the Ministry of Ceremonies also announced the title of king in the court hall. The three brothers also wrote their favors. Of course, the ceremony of making the king has not been done yet, and they have to choose a good and auspicious day. Yes, it is impossible to have the wedding on the same day as the prince.
The three of them never dreamed that their eldest brother would be so generous and give them the most noble title. The fiefdom of Jin Chuqi is also first-class rich. Of course, what they care about most is the majestic title of the original second prince. The third prince and the fourth prince don't sound as impressive as the King of Jin, the King of Chu, and the King of Qi.
The three brothers expressed their gratitude to the eldest brother seriously, and their words were very sincere. Zhu Biao also believed in their intentions at this time, but it is a pity that people's hearts are fickle. The joy of getting the benefits soon subsided, and he would only stare at him again. Didn't get it.
Zhu Biao asked a few questions. The ceremony for the kingship was going to be held in three days. The Ministry of Rites was already preparing. After hearing this, Zhu Biao said that he would prepare gifts for them. The three brothers refused.
Over the years, my eldest brother has given them good things during the holidays, but they are very poor. They were originally bald princes, but now they have a title but not a vassal, so naturally they don't have much.
They didn't have anything to give to the prince on his wedding. Everything in the private treasury was all gifts from the eldest brother. In addition, they were so excited when they heard the king's call that day that the three brothers secretly drank wine all night and vowed to be loyal in the future. Big brother.
Zhu Biao naturally knew the news. It was hard for the third child to drink so much and still try hard to write down everything.
The congratulatory gift for the three brothers was a jade article given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and a note was given to Liu Jin, promising to make up for it in the future. Zhu Biao smiled after seeing it. He didn't care what gifts his brothers gave him, he only hoped that in the future Don't hold Zhu Biao back when he needs it.
The three of them came to Zhu Biao to ask about the appropriate time to visit their sister-in-law. This was also the request of their mother-in-law. If they could establish a good relationship now, they should not delay it. While they were still young, there was no point in pretending to be good to her sister-in-law. wrong,
There were all etiquettes to be done in the previous three days, and they did not return to the palace yesterday, so the three brothers had not formally paid a visit to their sister-in-law. Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said, "Let's have a meal together tomorrow."
The three brothers happily nodded in agreement, and then prepared to go to the imperial study room to greet them. After all, they were all here and it would be unreasonable not to visit their father.
Zhu Biao glanced at their backs, and then started to walk towards the Ministry of Rites. He just remembered that many etiquettes in the Ming Dynasty had not yet been finalized, and it was the first time for him to be canonized a prince. This was not the case with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and the others. Wang Jue is different.
Liu Jin and others hurriedly followed, and exchanged a few words with the ministers they met on the way. Everyone wanted to leave a good impression in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. The fate of their descendants would depend on the Crown Prince's thoughts.
The Ministry of Etiquette was very busy. After finally completing the prince's wedding, the ceremony of canonizing the prince was about to begin again. After the Yuan Dynasty, many etiquette laws had changed, so they had to find the most orthodox and formal etiquette rules. This was also Zhu Yuanzhang's request. , be sure to refer to the etiquette of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
