After coming into contact with some new Confucianism in Jiangnan, he also greatly appreciated those new Confucian theories.
Therefore, when Chen Youliang fled from Huguang to Sichuan, he still brought many literati who studied the new Confucianism. The truly useful talents were actually this group of people, not these old-style Confucian scholars in Sichuan.
After discussing with Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang immediately ordered the recommendation of talents in Sichuan, and asked the generals stationed in various places to recommend the landlords in their ruled areas to become officials.
All recommended gentry leaders must come to Chengdu to meet Chen Youliang.
After Chen Youliang's final selection, a large number of Sichuan landlords and gentry were appointed by Chen Youliang as local county magistrates and other officials.
However, the power of these officials is not as great as imagined because of the presence of the Red Scarf Army garrison, but it is also a very good way out. The selection of officials is also based on people's choices. Those who are not strong Landowners, even if they have considerable talents and reputation, cannot be appointed to official positions.
As a result, not only was he unable to get an official appointment, Chen Youliang immediately issued a decree to attack the local tyrants and divide their land.
The Red Turban Army throughout Sichuan immediately took action. A large number of landowners were accused of having liaisons with the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty. Their homes were confiscated, and the young men were moved to Zigong and other salt fields and mines to work as coolies.
Almost half of the local landlords' homes in Sichuan were wiped out.
But in this way, the local land in Sichuan was also controlled.
Using these lands, Chen Youliang expanded his army on a large scale in Sichuan, greatly increasing the number of troops originally brought from Huguang from 50,000 to 150,000.
Moreover, these 150,000 people are all military households with land for everyone, similar to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Each soldier can be allocated at least thirty acres of land.
This is not those dry fields that are short of water and drought, but high-quality fertile fields with sufficient water sources in the plains of the Land of Abundance, close to rivers.
Through this series of measures to allocate land to local tyrants, as well as some previous measures to recommend gentry as officials, Chen Youliang quickly established a foothold in Sichuan.
After he gained a foothold, he officially announced that he would move the capital of the Han Empire from Hanyang, Hubei to Chengdu.
As a result, the capital of the Han Empire became Chengdu, Sichuan.
Talents from Sichuan have flocked to Chengdu. Relying on Sichuan's unique geographical advantages, Chen Youliang has shown a promising momentum in Sichuan.
The morale of all the Han Red Turban soldiers was also boosted.
The news that Chen Youliang was allocating land to local tycoons in Sichuan quickly reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already pacified Hunan and Hubei.
A large area of land from Huguang to Guangdong has been connected into one. In this way, they are not afraid of Chen Youliang's invasion to the east and can support each other.
After learning that Chen Youliang also practiced attacking local tyrants to allocate land to them in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a sarcastic smile.
"This guy Chen Youliang, what he did can be said to be a tiger made into a cat."
Sichuan was originally a place with congested traffic, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which easily made his soldiers lazy. Now he has given all the land in Sichuan to the soldiers. Then it will be even more difficult for the soldiers to have a comfortable home and then want to attack Sichuan.
It must be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's grasp of people's hearts is a level higher than that of Chen Youliang.
Although today's Ming Dynasty still divides land among local tyrants. However, as for the land, it was not simply distributed to the soldiers, but to many poor farmers.
Then, taxes were collected from these farmers and soldiers were recruited.
Otherwise, allocating all the land to soldiers will create a large area of wealthy old soldiers.
The wealthy old soldiers who had no worries about food and clothing and no enterprising spirit had little fighting power.
After learning about Chen Youliang's series of actions in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang did not regard Chen Youliang as a huge threat.
Zhu Han also felt that Chen Youliang's behavior of attacking local tyrants in Sichuan to allocate their fields was not a threat to him.
He said to his brother Zhu Yuanzhang, "Brother, in this case, Chen Youliang is just a withered bone in the grave. As long as we stick to Anzhou, Chen Youliang will never be able to invade Huguang again."
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said more: "Yes, Chen Youliang wants to imitate Han Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei, but how many people in the world are like Han Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei? And he sent his soldiers to the fertile land of Sichuan After one attack, it will be even more difficult to get these soldiers to move. Without high morale, they will no longer pose a threat to us."
Zhu Han also very much agreed with his brother Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis. He nodded and said: "Now Chen Youliang has nothing to worry about. Our last enemies are the Mongols."
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, now Huguang, Guangdong, and Fujian have settled down, and only the Mongols in the north are left. Xu Da has already sent good news, and Henan and Shandong have been basically settled. Now the remaining Even most of them still have medium-sized areas.”
"Qiwu, what do you think should we take Guanzhong first or Dadu first?"
Today's Ming army can be said to be fighting on three fronts.
First of all, the front line is the battle to pacify Chen Youliang, and the other front line is the pioneering war arranged by Zhu Han in Goryeo, Japan and other places.
The remaining front line is the campaign from the north led by Xu Da to expel the Tartars and restore China to the Mongols.
Zhu Han said with a smile, "Chen Youliang has nothing to fear now. The only ones left are the Mongols. Naturally, we have to fight slowly and steadily. There is no need to rush. Most of the Mongolians have no fighting spirit, so we will let them bleed slowly. If we kill them brutally and run them all to the grassland, it won’t be so easy to bleed them.”
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that Zhu Han's follow-up strategy was to have the Mongols retreat to the grasslands in large numbers.
Then they moved north from Liaoyang and Youyun, using fortress tactics to advance to the grasslands, forcing the Mongols to re-stage the Great Migration of the Western Expedition on the grasslands.
Zhu Yuanzhang also strongly agreed with the strategy of letting Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong.
The situation in the Ming Dynasty is now very good. Whether it is heading north to Dadu or attacking Guanzhong, it is actually not difficult at all.
The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army is definitely the best in the world.
"On the 75th, marching westward to Guanzhong is second only to the recovery of the Sixteenth Province of Youyun." Zhu Yuanzhang said, looking at Zhu Han and smiling.
"We think, let Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong, you lead the army north to Dadu, how about dividing the troops into two groups?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Ask me to regain the Sixteenth Province of Youyun?" Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this suggestion.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, the contribution of sixteen weeks to recover Youyun is really great. We think it is most appropriate to let you go. Moreover, Xu Da must beware of Chen Youliang in the south when he recovers Guanzhong. , and beware of the Mongols in the northwest, who will not be able to spare any time! If you are allowed to attack Dadu directly, it will also speed up the pace of the Mongols getting out of the Central Plains. But we have heard that the Mongols see that they cannot sustain themselves. , in Dadu, they exacted levies and taxes without any scruples. The sooner they were driven out of the Central Plains, the sooner they could be given a chance to breathe for the people."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words are not without basis, based on the reports of various spies. Because the Mongols felt that their empire could no longer be maintained, they looted and killed various places. There was no scruple at all. In many towns in Hebei, entire villages were massacred by the Mongols because they refused to pay high taxes on grain and grass.
Let Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong, and then Zhu Han personally lead the army to regain the sixteen states of Youyun, which is the capital, which can be regarded as a more suitable strategy.
However, after Zhu Han heard this suggestion, he rejected it without even thinking.
He is not a fool, so how can he not understand what his brother Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking?
In fact, this is because Zhu Yuanzhang still has no intention of giving up and wants to establish himself as the emperor's brother. His idea has not changed.
Let Zhu Han lead the army to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun just to give him a higher prestige.
Now that the crown prince Zhu Biao has been officially canonized, my elder brother still has not given up and is still thinking of making himself the crown prince's younger brother.
This idea is very dangerous.
That is to say, the eldest nephew Zhu Biao is still young. If he were a little older, it would be very easy to cause distrust and resentment between them.
"Brother, I don't agree with this suggestion. Since the responsibility of the Northern Expedition has been given to Xu Da, it is not appropriate to divide the troops from him. The strength of the Ming army is already a bit tense. There is no time to train new recruits, so it is not appropriate to divide the troops. !”
Zhu Han's words made Zhu Yuanzhang a lot more cautious.
Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty attacks on all sides, it does not rely on the numerical advantage of large numbers of troops, but relies more on elite troops and strong generals as the main military idea.
Xu Da had many soldiers and horses, but they did not seem to be enough for the entire vast northern battlefield.
Therefore, if the troops are divided, it will indeed increase the difficulty of attacking Guanzhong.
Zhu Han did not hesitate and refused to lead the army to regain the Sixteenth Province of Youyun!
He also clearly expressed to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that he had no intention of being the emperor's younger brother at all.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood. He nodded and said to Zhu Han, "Hey, well, since you don't want to, we won't force you. Let Xu Da handle the matter of expelling the Tartars slowly." do it."
"However, there are not many new troops in Xu Da's army. Once the Mongols are expelled from the Central Plains, there will be few opportunities for future wars. It is better to send Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others to Xu Da's army. Effectiveness, let them hone their cooperation with each other. It can be regarded as military training, how about it?" Zhu Han suggested.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded and said: "Well, yes, Qi Wu, this is a good idea. If Chen Youliang doesn't fight, he will definitely not dare to invade Huguang again. If Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and others don't kill the Tartars, , I’m afraid there really won’t be any chance to make military exploits in the future.”
Among the Ming army, Xu Da was the most trusted direct general, and he trained all his troops himself.
The other armies were all trained and controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han personally.
In other words, Xu Da's army is of its own kind!
The army in the hands of Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang is from another group. Now that the world is about to be unified, it is very necessary to mix the two armies into one.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han trusted Xu Da very much, but their soldiers may not understand such an unbreakable friendship.
It is necessary to strengthen cooperation and trust among the generals to prevent any estrangement and suspicion.
In Jinling City, Zhao Min was walking on the streets of Jinling Yingtian Mansion, looking at the bustling crowd, but felt bursts of sadness and anxiety in his heart.
It had been a month or two since she came to Yingtian Mansion, and all the gold and silver she had on her body had been spent.
The original inn was almost untenable, but there was still no chance to assassinate Zhu Han.
I saw Zhu Han present several times in Taixue, but because the weapons in his hands were confiscated in advance, there was no chance of assassination.
Today is another opportunity, another Taixue open class lecture.
Zhao Min heard that King Zhu Han of England would come to Taixue today to attend this public class, so she spent the last bit of money she had and asked the waiter at the inn to buy a front-row seat for her in the Taixue public class. Looking for one last chance to finish.
Zhao Min brought his own sword, but this sword was just for show.
Because the real weapon she used to carry out the assassination was the specially made hairpin on her head.
Today, Zhao Min is still dressing up as a man, but she is indeed wearing a Taoist robe. With the Taoist robe, you can wear a relatively loose Taoist crown and hairpin.
The hairpin on her head was made of cold iron, and she had carefully dyed it with poison.
Zhao Min once tested the toxicity of hairpins with a dog, and it can be said that he died at the sight of blood.
Therefore, today's Taixue open class is Zhao Min's last desperate attempt.
If she couldn't assassinate Zhu Han, then she would have to risk her life in Jinling City, the so-called failure or failure.
but.
It is a pity that Zhao Min encountered a big trouble on his own for such an important action today.
That means she overslept!
I actually missed today’s Taixue open class time.
She hurriedly walked towards the direction of Taixue.
If she cannot successfully assassinate Zhu Han today, then she will never have the chance to contact King Zhu Han again.
She was almost penniless!
After today...the owner of the inn will kick her out.
Just as Zhao Min was walking forward in a hurry.
But suddenly he heard the sound of a rushing carriage behind him.
Dang Dang!
Dang Dang!
A crisp sound of copper bells came from behind.
Zhao Min turned around and looked back, only to see a rich and gorgeous four-wheeled carriage driving behind him.
This kind of four-wheel carriage is the latest novelty item on the market in Jinling City.
This four-wheeled carriage has a tall frame and four exquisite wheels. I heard that it not only drives smoothly and smoothly, but also has no bumps when you sit in it. It is not like the original two-wheeled carriage, which can be used for a day or two. It can make people fall apart.
Zhao Min moved aside to let the carriage pass.
However, the carriage suddenly stopped in front of her, revealing a handsome face.
The people on the carriage looked at Zhao Min and said with a smile: "Brother, are you going to the Imperial Academy?"
When Zhao Min heard this, he looked at the people on the carriage and was suddenly stunned.
Because the person in front of him turned out to be Zhu Han, King of Ying of the Ming Dynasty.
Although there was a thin screen window, she could still clearly see the faces inside.
"You are, you are?"
Zhao Min suddenly trembled with excitement, and her heart started beating loudly. The enemy who killed her father was right in front of her. How could she not be excited?
Because of the violent excitement, a red color appeared on her face, as if she was shy.
In Zhu Han's eyes, she actually looked charming and handsome.
Zhu Han looked at the woman in Taoist robes in front of him and immediately laughed.
He had seen this handsome woman disguised as a man several times in the public classes of Taixue.
These days, not many women are willing to spend a lot of money to attend classes at Taixue.
Although this woman was wearing men's clothing and her face was smeared with something black and unsightly, she still couldn't hide her stunning beauty under these disguises.
Today, Zhu Han recognized her just by passing by.
Now he invites her to ride in the carriage with him, firstly out of curiosity about her identity as a woman disguised as a man, and secondly because he also wants to have a chance to be alone with such an unconventional beauty.
Today's Zhu Han is no longer the ignorant boy he was originally. The beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, maids from Goryeo and Silla, and women from the Japanese country have already opened his eyes.
As the saying goes, it is natural to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman when you see her.
When Zhu Han saw this familiar beauty, he thought she was a woman who disguised herself as a man and liked to attend classes at Taixue University. He did not realize at all that the person in front of him was a female killer who regarded him as a sure target!
Zhao Min was also shocked by Zhu Han's approach.
She didn't know how the King of England Zhu Han, a thief, could suddenly invite her to take a ride on the street.
At this time, Zhao Min glanced at Zhu Han's carriage.
There were more than a dozen guards full of murderous intent following closely behind him.
Moreover, there seemed to be two maids serving in Zhu Han's carriage. It was not known whether they were real maids or guards pretending to be maids.
Anyway, Zhao Min took one look and immediately felt that the compartment was too small. If he tried to attack, he might not have a chance of success.
The group of guards were too close, and the closest one was only a step or two away. Before he could assassinate him, he would be knocked to the ground by them.
Just as Zhao Min was hesitating, Zhu Han felt that she was a little reluctant to get on his carriage.
After all, the woman in front of her was a woman. It would be abnormal for her to get in the car so easily when faced with an invitation from a grown man.
"Well, since the girl doesn't want to get in the car, I'll take the first step." Zhu Han smiled slightly and then asked the guard to drive forward.
"What? Girl?" Zhao Min was shocked when he heard this word.
It turned out that he had already seen through her disguise as a man, and even invited her to get in the car!
This slutty thief!
Zhao Min felt ashamed and angry, and even a little bit angry, hating herself for being hesitant just now.
If he had just entered the carriage and was suddenly attacked by a surprise attack, Zhu Han might have been killed on the spot.
Zhao Min came to Taixue with a disappointed look.
Sure enough, because he arrived too late, the gate of Taixue was already closed and no outsiders were allowed to enter. Even though he had expensive tickets for the Taixue hall class, Zhao Min was turned away by the Taixue guards.
Zhao Min was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
She could only wander around Taixue in despair.
Not long after, the gate of Taixue opened, and then a four-wheeled carriage slowly walked out.
This time, Zhao Min immediately recognized it as the carriage of King Zhu Han of England.
She mustered up her courage and stepped forward to meet the carriage.
Sure enough, Zhao Min walked to the front.
The four-wheeled carriage stopped again, and King Zhu Han leaned out of the window again.
"Girl, you are really late and didn't go in, right?"
Zhu Han looked at the woman and said with a smile.
Zhao Min nodded, "I don't know where brother is going. Can you take me for a ride?"
When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately laughed, "You don't even know where I'm going, how can I take you? It's not sure whether it will go smoothly or not."
When Zhao Min heard this, he immediately panicked. His question was full of flaws.
The guards beside Zhu Han also became alert and looked at him with vigilant eyes.
Zhu Han felt that this woman disguised as a man might be looking for him for some other reason, so he asked immediately.
"Girl, is there anything you want me to help you with?"
Zhao Min was also willing to take risks at this time, and said directly to Zhu Han, "I know you are His Royal Highness the King of Ming Dynasty, right?"
Zhu Han smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am Zhu Han."
When Zhao Min heard the confirmation, her teeth immediately itched with hatred. She wished she could immediately pull out the sword in her hand or pull out the poisonous hairpin on her head to deal with the big thief in front of her. However, her reason told her that the probability of success was completely A zero.
"To be honest, today is the last time I come to attend a lecture at Taixue. The ticket for this Taixue is really too expensive. I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of England knows if there are any other ways to attend lectures at Taixue?"
Zhao Min also knew from the girl's name just now that Zhu Han, a slut and a thief, must have taken a fancy to her beauty.
In this case, she will resort to tricks.
The beautiful woman in front of me disguised as a man is such a down-to-earth and curious woman who is willing to learn.
Zhu Han immediately said to Zhao Min, "Don't be discouraged. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is emerging and pays attention to the new Confucianism. It is not just Taixue. The Ming Dynasty has decided to open a Taixue women's school in Yingtianfu to recruit girls like girls who are willing to study the new Confucianism." If you want to study in women’s studies, you can go directly to study at Women’s University!”
Zhu Han's words suddenly shocked Zhao Min again.
"What? Women's Imperial College?"
This is simply unheard of.
For thousands of years, there have been no imperial colleges for women. All talented women in history were learned from their families. No court has ever said that it would set up a college for women.
Hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhao Min showed a very surprised look on his face.
Zhu Han was already accustomed to this.
When he proposed this method, not only the subordinate officials, but also his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were very puzzled.
They couldn't understand what was the use of letting women learn the new Confucianism?
Zhu Han understood the huge benefits of letting women study.
As the great men of later generations said, women hold up half the sky.
The Ming Dynasty in Zhu Han's mind is not a copy of the feudal dynasty Ming Dynasty in history!
Instead, he wanted a new Ming Dynasty that would move from a feudal dynasty into modern society.
In this way, it will not only require the efforts of tens of millions of men in the Ming Dynasty, but also the same number of women.
And a group of illiterate women, or women who only know the books of corrupt sages, are of little use to modern society.
Only by allowing them to learn the scientific introduction of Confucianism can they create a new group of talents.
This group of female imperial students did not need to hold any official positions or do any research. Even if they were just allowed to care for their husbands and raise children at home, it would be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in Ming society.
Zhu Han has always believed in one sentence, that is, a heroic mother will definitely create a heroic child. This sentence is particularly practical for today's Ming Dynasty.
After all, the current social situation is that men are in charge of outside affairs and women are in charge of domestic affairs.
Almost all women's tasks are to care for their husbands and raise children. If a woman who understands modern humanities and science and technology becomes the female leader of a family, it will definitely be a huge improvement for a certain family in the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Han finished speaking, he took out a small silver-white card from his arms and handed it directly to Zhao Min. Then he said to him,
"Girl, with this name tag, you can directly skip the preliminary examination and enter the re-examination for the Women's Imperial College. I wish you good luck."
Zhu Han immediately sat back in the carriage, and with an order, the carriage moved forward slowly.
As the saying goes, when the matter is over, just brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame.
Although Zhu Han likes him, he is not the hot-tempered first brother, and this kind of encounter is also a unique experience.
Poor Zhu Han didn't know that the real motive of the beautiful woman in front of him was to assassinate himself.
If he had known about it, he would have taken out the musket from his waist and destroyed this beauty in an instant.
No matter what stunning beauty you are, as long as you pose a threat to my safety, you will be wiped out in ashes immediately!
However, Zhu Han didn't know this. He just felt that he had met a rare and strange woman in the world. After the carriage had gone a certain distance, Zhu Han suddenly realized that he had been stupid and didn't even think of asking this woman's name.
"If we meet again in the future, wouldn't it be a little embarrassing?"
However, Zhu Han had already seen many women, and he didn't care much about the matter in front of him.
Things in Yingtian Mansion are really busy now. Although my brother Zhu Yuanzhang has come back to preside over the government, many emerging things still need to be done by himself, and I don't have the energy to think about other things.
In particular, he has recently been busy preparing for the Women's Imperial Academy and the Yingtianfu Royal Military Academy, which has kept Zhu Han's busy feet off the ground.
I was able to come to Taixue today and listen to Wanhu Tao Guangyi’s public lecture.
It’s already a little bit of free time from a busy schedule.
The Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty was a major event that Zhu Han cared about when the Ming Dynasty was first established.
In order to build the Ming Dynasty into a modern and powerful empire, a powerful army is an indispensable component, and the most important backbone of a powerful modern army is its middle and lower-level officers. These The middle and lower-level officers are the real controllers of the army.
With a group of reliable middle- and lower-level officers, a group of soldiers can be managed into a group of war machines that obey orders.
Since the feudal era, everyone has realized the importance of discipline and junior officers.
However, the military controllers in the feudal era were actually warlords, large and small.
Even the emperor was actually a big warlord.
They use various backward means to restrain and train soldiers, often ignoring the regularization of middle- and lower-level officers.
A major improvement in the modern army is the adoption of a complete set of formalized procedures for the training and command of middle- and lower-level officers.
The Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty was founded with this grand wish of Zhu Han.
The place Zhu Han was going to go to today was the Royal Military Academy outside Yingtianfu City.
He was going to make an inspection to see how this Royal Military Academy, which had high hopes, was operating after its establishment.
After all, it contains the elites of the Ming Dynasty's modern army.
Looking at Zhu Han's carriage slowly leaving.
Zhao Min held the small silver card in his hand and stood there blankly.
To be honest, she had no interest in the so-called new Confucianism in Taixue, and she felt dizzy every time she listened to it.
In particular, when the famous Tao Guangyi of Ten Thousand Households gave a lecture, Zhao Min could understand every sentence and every word, but after connecting them together, it felt like the clouds and mountains were surrounded by fog. , completely missing the point.
Now, in this so-called women's academy, there must be something like this, which immediately gave me a headache.
However, listening to Zhu Han's tone just now, it seems that he has high hopes for that female imperial scholar. Maybe he will be able to see Zhu Han there more often in the future and have more opportunities to assassinate her.
Zhao Min held the silver name sticker in his hand and thought about it as he walked.
If he didn't go to this female imperial college, his financial support wouldn't be enough. If he didn't have any money, he would be kicked out by the innkeeper and sleep on the street immediately.
Zhao Min thought over and over again and felt that he had no other way out. He could only bite the bullet and inquire about this female imperial scholar.
Maybe the opportunity to assassinate the dog thief Zhu Han in the future will be in this female imperial college.
"Zhu Han, the thief, you brought your own death, so don't blame me for being rude!" Zhao Min thought bitterly in his heart.
.
.
.
Jinling Yingtianfu, Nanshan outside the city.
This place was originally a barren mountain. When the Mongols were stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, they once surrounded a large area of the Nanshan Mountain for hunting outside the city.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to capture Jinling, this large hunting ground near Nanshan was taken over by the government.
However, Zhu Han did not allocate this place to the soldiers and the people of Jiangnan as Zhu Yuanzhang originally intended, but kept it.
The purpose at that time was to set it up as a military academy.
Today, the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy is located in Nanshan outside Jinling City.
There is lush vegetation all around here, and there is only one wide road leading deep into the woods and mountains.
Deep in the woods, it was originally a hunting and resting garden built by the Mongols.
Today, the garden has been transformed into the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy.
With the sound of horns, the free lunch time of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy has arrived.
After Luo Guanzhong finished his meal, he walked on the tree-lined avenue of the officer academy. He held a colorful illustrated artillery training manual in his hand and recited the articles in it carefully as he walked.
Since Luo Guanzhong decided to abandon literature and join martial arts in Zhejiang, he came to Jinling Yingtian Mansion alone.
His teacher Shi Naian is now the Minister of the Ministry of Official Worship and Rites, and he also joined the cabinet as a minister of Longzhi of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Shi Naian's words were full of weight.
Seeing his former disciple coming to join him, Shi Naian immediately introduced him to the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy.
Shi Naian felt that if his student Luo Guanzhong wanted to abandon literature and join the military, he could not start with the big head soldiers. It happened that the Ming Royal Military Academy prepared by Zhu Han was the Hanlin Academy for the future Ming military generals. Naturally, he wanted to Disciple Luo Guanzhong arranged to go in.
Because of the recommendation of his teacher Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong's entry into the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy was very smooth.
In addition, he is young, only in his twenties now, and he just meets the admission standards of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy.
And he himself is familiar with literary and historical materials!
He is also very knowledgeable about the emerging new Confucianism and can be said to be a top talent.
After entering the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong received unanimously excellent ratings from all the instructors and generals in the first two assessments.
For Luo Guanzhong... he has already made his mark in the field of military generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Not surprisingly, Luo Guanzhong will definitely have a place among the generals of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, the subject Luo Guanzhong chose to study was the emerging subject that attracted the most attention from the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and His Royal Highness the King of England - artillery.
The great contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty was the artillery, which repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield.
With the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, various artillery technologies have developed rapidly.
The application of artillery has developed into a professional discipline.
As a promoter of Ming Dynasty artillery tactics!
Zhu Han naturally wanted to establish artillery as a subject in the Ming Royal Military Academy.
Luo Guanzhong, who was well versed in ancient and modern times and had a very high level of education, was naturally selected into the artillery discipline.
Luo Guanzhong lived up to expectations and also loved artillery as a subject.
Even when Luo Guanzhong was writing his favorite popular commentary on the Three Kingdoms in his spare time, he liked to write the sentence "three gunshots" while writing.
Although after receiving professional artillery training from the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong already knew that during the Three Kingdoms era, no one, no matter Wei, Shu or Wu, could possess gunpowder weapons.
But his love for artillery can no longer be restrained.
Every time I write a popular commentary on the Three Kingdoms, if I don't add a few words "a gunshot", I always feel that there is something missing. Luo Guanzhong walked on the road, silently reciting the artillery discipline drill manual, which was densely packed with information. All of them are compulsory subjects.
The knowledge ranged from three-pound guns to forty-eight-pound guns, and even seventy-two-pound naval heavy guns. As for why this artillery was measured in pounds, Luo Guanzhong was also confused. But as a standard feature of the modern army, it is to strictly implement the regulations. Whether you understand it or not, you must implement it first.
Therefore, although Luo Guanzhong did not understand a lot about the somewhat obscure "Artillery Drill Manual" in his hand, his first principle was to memorize it.
As he walked, he recited the Artillery Drill Manual.
Suddenly, without paying attention to the front, he bumped into someone.
"Ouch!" Luo Guanzhong almost fell down.
He quickly looked up and saw a young man in general uniform standing in front of him.
Behind this young man, there are two powerful guards!
Luo Guanzhong took a closer look and saw that the young general in front of him actually had three gold stars hanging on his uniform and two sword stripes.
A general at such a young age?
Luo Guanzhong was greatly frightened.
"Who are you?" Zhu Han was knocked over by this person who suddenly appeared. If he hadn't been practicing martial arts diligently, he would have been knocked down by him.
"Luo Guanzhong, a first-term student of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy." Luo Guanzhong said quickly.
As soon as he heard this name, Zhu Han suddenly felt that the world was really wonderful.
He heard from Shi Naian that he had a student who wanted to enter the Royal Military Academy.
At that time, Zhu Han waved his hand and gave Shi Naian a special approval order.
I never expected that the person I specially approved was the famous Luo Guanzhong in history.
As a loyal fan of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhu Han did not expect that the great writer Luo Guanzhong would actually write and join the army under his command. I really don't know if "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can still come out smoothly.
When Zhu Han saw Luo Guanzhong in front of him, he saw that he had a dignified appearance, a medium build, and a capable spirit all over his body. It was obvious that the three months of training at the Royal Military Academy had brought out the original scholarly atmosphere in him. It is a resolute military temperament.
"So you are Luo Guanzhong." Zhu Han laughed.
"Have you heard of me? Dare I ask you?" Luo Guanzhong was a little confused.
At this time, a middle-aged man appeared from the side and said to Luo Guanzhong,
"This is His Royal Highness the King of England! Luo Guanzhong, why don't you pay homage quickly!"
When Luo Guanzhong heard that the young man in front of him turned out to be the world-famous King Zhu Han, he became excited.
"I met His Royal Highness the King of England in Xialuo Guanzhong." Luo Guanzhong stood at attention and saluted.
The salute was a fist-cup salute. As a symbol of a modern army, Zhu Han had already ordered the cancellation of all kneeling salutes in the Royal Military Academy.
Except for those who knelt down to worship the Ming Emperor, everyone else was performing this new set of military salutes!
That is to say, stand at attention with your chest raised and your head raised, and then raise your arms and breastplate in front of your chest, or salute with clasped fists.
Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Han with great admiration.
For him, brothers Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang can be described as legends between heaven and man.
There has never been such a powerful person from ancient times to the present, but he established such a powerful Ming Dynasty in just four years.
Even Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, only entered Guanzhong in three years, and then took seven years to rule the world.
Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty has not completely eradicated the remnants of the Meng Yuan forces and local forces such as Chen Youliang, everyone with a discerning eye already knows that the Ming Dynasty is as powerful as a rainbow.
, it is only a matter of time to eliminate these separatist forces. There is no fierce battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in the past.
Therefore, when Luo Guanzhong saw the living King Zhu Han of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, he immediately became excited.
It turns out that this is the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty!
As a new military general system, the new army system set by Zhu Han basically adopts more concise and sharp modern military officers' clothing, but it retains gorgeous decoration and distinguish the official position of official positions through the golden emblem of the golden star emblem on the clothing.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the new army of the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was five Venus!
Prince Chu Jun's costumes are four Venus, but they are not generally the generals, but the monarch.
"First Evolution"
The real general official started with the generals of three Venus.
There are only a handful of people who have the rank of General Daming!
However, only King Zhu Han, the founding public Xu Da, the founding public soup and the founding public Zhou Dexing.
There is also the cheaper old man of the emperor, the king of the king Guo Zixing.
