In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, February 23rd.
The academy that Prince Zhu Houzhao wanted to build was officially opened as a military academy in the inner hall.
There are still some dissidents in the imperial court, but Wu Kuan and Cheng Minzheng, who were the loudest at the beginning, have now been demoted to a remote place as magistrate, and the other has been ordered to become an official.
They all committed such a serious crime because they collided with the prince. That is to say, the emperor was thinking about his old relationship with them, so he did not kill them.
Apart from these two people, the voices of the important officials in the court were no longer loud. Some of the censors also raised opinions, but people like Wang Hao and others could also refute.
In the final analysis, Zhu Houzhao had a great cause that was beneficial to the country. Even if some officials said a few words, they could not organize any major opposition actions.
So with Zhang Tianrui's preparations, the military academy officially opened.
According to Zhu Houzhao's requirements, all generals who come here for further study must not only study military affairs, but also political history. They have studied since the beginning of Qin Dynasty, the northern frontier troubles of our Central Plains Dynasty, from the Han-Hungarian war, to the Five Husbands' chaos in China, and then to the Tang Dynasty. The feud between the Turks, the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, and even the emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of this dynasty and the former Yuan Dynasty.
What we need to study in detail after this is the history of the rise and fall of the Tatars. The generals in the border army have some understanding of this, but in the final analysis, the position is hereditary, and they are not very good at reading, and from other guards Those who were selected were even less understanding.
The speed of information dissemination in ancient times is beyond the imagination of modern people, and the illiteracy rate is very high. Basically, those who are literate are considered talents. Those who have read military books have a great opportunity. If you can analyze the situation, this It’s called rare.
Therefore, in martial arts, it is not unreasonable to get a copy of the Nine Yin Manual and immediately become a master.
What was different about the opening of the military academy was that the dean, Zhang Tianrui, announced to them that he had invited His Highness the Prince to come in person.
There are thirty people in the house, and it is not big or grand, but it is due to Zhu Houzhao's martial arts.
In order to reach this point from scratch, he tried to find ways to make money and establish his prestige in the court through one incident. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to summon these people safely here today.
Still remember in those early days, as soon as I left the palace, ministers would come to the emperor to report to him. What about today?
Sometimes it is not a question of the amount of power the prince holds, but factors such as power.
At first, the ministers didn't know and thought it was nothing to do. The emperor wouldn't say anything anyway. But now, whoever jumps out and tries to see if there is a good ending.
Zhu Houzhao was a little tired of facing a group of old scholars every day.
It's different now. People like Yang Shangyi, Han Ziren, Wu Hang, Xiong Shangwu and others are all strong men in their twenties. The eldest one is named Ma Yihuai, a member of the Tengxiang left guard.
He is already thirty-seven this year. He has a straight body and firm muscles. He has a long diagonal scar on his forehead. He sits upright and silent most of the time.
Zhu Houzhao knew this person. He was the one who beat Wu Junchuan recommended by Zhang Yong... the one who was good at using sticks.
It was said that they were fighting, but in fact it was not because of conflicts, but because Zhang Yong advocated a martial culture in the army. He originally thought that with Wu Junchuan, there would be no problem in suppressing these Qiu Ba with force, but the pretense failed. ….
Because of this, Zhu Houzhao laughed at him for a long time.
And this Ma Yihuai came into Zhu Houzhao's sight. Jin Yiwei went to investigate again and found that this person had an ordinary background. He was an ordinary person who inherited his father's position. He had read books when he was young, but he was not that material. Later he married a wife and had children.
But after marrying a wife, things are different.
The so-called well-matched family, his family was in the military, and someone his father knew was also in the military, so he found a daughter who was a soldier as his wife. It turned out that this daughter-in-law was very good at boxing and kicking, and her frame was wide and thick, and her father-in-law was even taller than his father. His father has a bigger position, what can he do?
Exercise your skills and find ways to protect yourself.
Now that the two sons have grown up, they dance with guns and sticks all day long, making the Ma family basically a martial artist.
Zhu Houzhao found it interesting. At least this family education was very good.
, even if Ma Yihuai doesn't have much success, if he trains him well, maybe his two sons will be more promising.
Most of the warriors who came today were middle and lower-level generals. The warriors did not have the energy to hold on like the literati. They were very excited to see the prince.
Zhu Houzhao, accompanied by Wang Yue, came to the main seat and sat down.
"Everyone, please raise your heads and look at me. Let me look at you too. You are the first training personnel of the Ming Military Academy. I have been thinking about this day since the eleventh year of Hongzhi. Zhang Tianrui is better than me. After seeing you first, he said that the pillars of the Ming Dynasty gathered here, so I wanted to come no matter what. So I came."
Zhang Tianrui is timid, but Zhu Houzhao always remembers to support him.
"You come to the capital from all over the country, and you must also know that the army is being organized in the capital, and the brave people are to be organized together to form an elite army. Those are soldiers. Here..." The prince pointed to everyone, "Here is Will!"
After speaking like this, everyone's expressions naturally became more excited.
"Throughout the dynasties, there were so many famous generals when the country was founded. But a hundred years after the founding of the country, there were few generals. Why? Did the famous generals come out as soon as they reached that critical point?" Zhu Houzhao's speech has a sense of cadence, neither fast nor slow, sometimes He also said with a gesture, "No, it is the times that make heroes. So I believe that a hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there will still be soil for famous generals to emerge. The key lies in whether there is such an opportunity. To put it more bluntly, whether there is a war to fight . And this... depends on Yu Gu’s thoughts."
"Last year, 500 Tatar envoys came to Beijing, and 2,000 people entered the customs. They said they were paying tribute, but in fact they came to buy weapons. Dayan Khan has reorganized the internal affairs. Why did he buy weapons? It can't be a show of force. Do you want to play outside the Great Wall? Therefore, I have already made up my mind that I, Zhu Houzhao, will definitely cross the Great Wall throughout my life!"
"I know, you guys all look mighty and powerful, but not everyone has the momentum to conquer mountains and rivers, or even want to go to the battlefield. Maybe they just want to receive some military pay and live out their lives. But in short I must fight this battle with the Tatars. Even if you don't go, I, the prince, and the eunuchs in the palace will make sure that the northern captives don't dare to invade my Ming border and plunder my Ming people! What if? If you have the idea of meritorious service and the title of nobility, and you have the courage to kill the enemy on the battlefield, treat this place as a place where you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to the Holy One. One day, you will sing triumphant songs and I will congratulate you again!"...
Wang Yue sighed in his heart, His Highness is really like a dragon or a phoenix among men!
"I am more and more willing to die for Your Highness! But one day, I will definitely kill the enemy and serve the country, as Your Highness has sworn today!"
Under his leadership, Yang Shangyi and others also knelt down and shouted three times!
This is momentum. You have that kind of power, but without that momentum, you lose your charisma. People will naturally feel that there is no future in hanging with you.
And Zhu Houzhao is a prince, and he also has this kind of momentum. After hearing this, the warriors don't think they can look like a person in the future by following His Highness the prince? !
Human beings have always been strong-willed.
"General Wang."
"I'm here!"
"You must teach me well these thirty people. When they graduate, there must be an assessment. If none of the thirty people succeed, I will cause trouble for you. In addition, I will also turn this military academy into a It means that every year from now on, people with lofty ideals in the army will be selected for further study. These are the first batch. Let's all see whether the newcomers surpass the predecessors or whether the predecessors set an example. Zhang Tianrui, "
"I'm here."
"You have to do one more thing. Find a few painters and leave portraits for them. Soldiers have to go to the battlefield, and these thirty people may not come back alive..." Zhu Houzhao sighed, "So the Military Academy We must leave information about every general to show that...the heroic spirit will live on forever!"
That's about all the prince said, and Wang Yue's lecture followed.
Most of these thirty people are young. After receiving this lesson from His Highness the Prince, their blood has already heated up. They wish they could kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds right away!
It was also the first time for Yang Shangyi to see the prince who General Wang Yue said was a genius. It is said that a sight is better than a hundred hearings. The prince has such great ambitions. It is no wonder that Wang Yue, Zhang Tianrui and others are willing to surrender.
"Come to your senses, let's start!"
…
…
It was about this time.
The two uncles, who had been going smoothly for many years, rushed into the capital.
They have been in trouble recently. In the eleventh year of Hongzhi's reign, the prince gave him a sudden beating. Not even a few days after he recovered from his injuries and went out to do some activities, things started to go wrong again...
Originally, the literati had a lot of objections to them, but Empress Zhang always protected them, and the emperor couldn't do anything to them, so all the ministers held back their anger and were anxious.
Now that the situation is like this, when others look at it, they have to say something like, "You too have today."
So the cathartic emotions were like the water of the rushing Yellow River, so when it comes to these two uncles, who wouldn't laugh a few words?
Only a lot of what was passed around reached the ears of Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.
So much so that even Juren began to talk nonsense about them.
Zhang Yanling couldn't bear it anymore. In February, it was difficult to walk on the road when it was frozen, but he and Zhang Heling overcame this difficulty.
In the ninth year of Hongzhi, they and Empress Dowager Zhou's family members, Chang Ning Bo Zhou, fought with each other. You're not afraid of that kind of scene, but teaching someone a lesson is nothing?
They went to the house in the capital to take charge, and then sent out many slaves. Zhang Yanling shouted: "Go! Find that Tang Bohu! Bring him here!"
Poor Tang Bohu was still sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by the noise outside Linglong Restaurant.
Vaguely, he heard someone asking: In which room is that Tang Bohu from Jiangnan? ! ….
boom!
Tang Bohu's door was really knocked open at this moment, which shocked him. But after taking a closer look, he realized it was Xu Jing, "Brother Xu! Why is it you?"
"Brother Tang, there are more than twenty evil slaves outside looking for you, please run away first!"
At this time, Tang Bohu was no longer as proud as he was at the "Ming Pao" headquarters. He asked in a trembling voice: "Which family in the most virtuous place in the capital dares to be so bold? Do you want to allow domestic slaves to beat people in the street?"
"Oops!" Xu Jing was so anxious, "Don't worry about it, run away first. All you need to do is put on your clothes. Throw away the gold and silver. I have plenty there!"
It's a pity that Xu Jing's news was delayed. They lived upstairs and the door was blocked. Where could they go at this time?
Wow!
"Brother Tang, for now, you have no choice but to jump from here." Linglong Restaurant is built along the river, and there is a river outside the window. This is February!
Tang Bohu was a little hesitant, but he still moved the bench and climbed up the window, "Brother Xu, I, Tang, will definitely repay your kindness one day."
It's a pity that he, a scholar, is slow and has a small window. He had the courage to stretch out one leg, but he couldn't get the second leg out.
At the door, the servant of Jianchang Bo Mansion had already arrived. He pointed and shouted: "He wants to run away! Catch him quickly!"
"Why is there another person next to me?"
"They must be with him, capture them all!"
Tang Bohu looked at so many people and then looked at his own actions. He was very embarrassed. Suddenly, shame and anger rushed into his heart, "How dare you! I am Tang Yin, the Jieyuan of Yingtian Mansion! If you hit me, you will violate the national law! The court will not forgive you." I can’t help you!"
Everyone was stunned, not expecting anyone to dare to say this.
"What a stinky fart! It was the imperial court that beat you! Pull it down!"
So the room suddenly became chaotic. The two scholars, Tang Yin and Xu Jing, were quickly pushed to the ground, and someone wanted to take action.
"Wait!" At this time, the leading slave said, "The order we received is to take people back, not to beat them to death. Take them back first and then talk!"
But someone fanned the flames from the side, "The second master is so angry, let's take these two good people back?! A little lesson is always needed, right?"
These are not smart people. They were deceived like this and thought that was the case. Otherwise, wouldn't the second master say that they were incompetent in doing things?
"Okay, let's give him a good beating first! Let's beat them both together!"
There were more than one of these people, so they surrounded and beat each other.
How could a scholar with a weak body and bones endure this? The key is that there were people arranged by Mao Yuwen who started to kill Tang Yin.
Tang Bohu screamed at first, then suddenly let out a high pitched voice, and then stopped screaming!
The leading slave felt something was wrong and immediately calmed down, "Okay, okay. Take him away first!"
They shook Tang Bohu. His eyelids were swollen and his right nostril was bleeding, but he was still panting. He was beating his right arm and seemed to be floating feebly.
Outside the Linglong Restaurant, many onlookers crowded over and filled the whole street. On the second floor diagonally opposite the restaurant, Mao Yuwen was sitting on a small table, drinking a small drink, looking like he was staying out of the incident. . ….
His expression was indifferent, and after a while someone reported to him: "Master Qianhu, the matter is settled, Tang Bohu's arm must be broken. You see what we agreed before..."
Mao Yuwen took out a bag from his arms and put it in front of him, but did not let him take it away immediately. He warned: "It's none of your business below. Receive the money and then return to Jianchang Bo Mansion as an errand in peace. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I will definitely do as I am told."
This guy had a mustache and looked like a woman, and walked away happily with a bag containing several ingots of gold.
Mao Yuwen reached out and waved, and the Jin Yiwei beside him immediately bent down and came closer, "What are your orders, Lord Qianhu?"
"Go and confirm whether Tang Bohu's hand is broken. After confirming, kill him and keep his hands and feet clean."
"yes!"
Then he pointed to another person, "Liu Si, when the people here are sure, you can spread the news and say... Shouning Bo and Jianchang Bo allowed their slaves to beat people in the street, causing Jiangnan's son Tang Bohu's right hand to Break. I remember you will be able to try it in early March, right?"
"Yes." These confidants probably knew his intentions. They had been planning for so long just to gain face in front of the prince. "Master Qianhe, would you like to report to His Highness in time..."
Mao Yuwen's slender eyes narrowed, "No need."
First of all, he was not sure whether the prince wanted to deal with Shouning Bo and Jian Chang Bo. If so, with the prince's methods, he would not miss this opportunity. Why should he report it? If not, then isn't the crime that caused the person to fail the examination to be his? What will happen when His Highness the Crown Prince blames me? That’s why it’s troublesome to say so.
Secondly, he had to think about whether the prince wanted to know about such a sensitive matter or not. And thinking with a pig's brain, I knew that the prince definitely didn't want to know.
A smart person would not say it, but let His Highness know that you may be responsible for it.
For example, this time, the prince was quite unhappy with what Shouning Bo and Jianchang Bo did before, but the opportunity came soon after. What about the next time, and the next time? The prince will understand.
There are many things that are better off done than said. If he can't be such a useful person, then why does his Maoist diploma deserve such promotion from His Highness?
By the evening of this day,
This matter gradually began to ferment,
Zhang Yong also heard about it outside the palace, and then hurried to the East Palace to report it.
He originally thought that this was related to the prince's uncle, so he was worried that Uncle Shouning and Uncle Jianchang would get into trouble. But when Zhu Houzhao heard this, his expression became meaningful.
"In this case, that Tang Bohu is really pitiful... I didn't expect that the two uncles would cause such a big disaster..."
To a certain extent, the consequences of this are more serious than trying on Emperor Hongzhi's crown. Anyway, as long as Hongzhi is dealt with, they will not be punished strictly. But something like this offends all the scholars in the world. Which scholar can forgive him?
Liu Jin listened and felt strange, "How could Uncle Shouning and Uncle Jianchang do such stupid things at this pass?"
"...Are they smart people?" Zhu Houzhao asked, "Hutu people just do Hutu things."
At the same time, he also began to think.
These relatives of the Hongzhi Dynasty, headed by Shouning Bo and Jianchang Bo, invaded people's fields, demanded salt, and even asked women to rape the palace maids. They were simply beasts. That means Zhu Houzhao was not the emperor, otherwise they would have been pulled out and chopped up long ago.
[Recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years
Chasing books, @@! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]
But I just couldn't move.
In addition to their family, there were also other relatives such as Changning Bozhou or Zhou family, Yutian Bo Jianglun Jiang family, etc., who all had this problem during the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Now, if we want to cure this abscess, unless the Zhang family, which is the most powerful, is moved away, it will be unfair for other families to name them.
Moreover, Han Wen had calculated for a long time and said that even maintaining a Class-A guard with 80,000 people was absolutely impossible. The reason was simple and straightforward: no money and no food. After all, depriving a second-level guard would at least give him a way to survive.
But now that the money and food are coming, all the fields occupied by the Zhang family can be taken back as the imperial village!
In fact, the two of them are ultimately supported by Queen Zhang.
"Liu Jin, you go find Xiao Jing tomorrow and pick a suitable stall, and I'll go see my father." The prince thought for a while and gave the order.
"yes.".
