"I see your Majesty!"
Mao Yuanyi and Zhang Fengyi saluted immediately after entering Dongnuan Pavilion.
Chongzhen put down the memorial and raised his hand gently: "What do you two dear ladies want from me?"
After Mao Yuanyi and Zhang Fengyi looked at each other, Mao Yuanyi immediately said: "Your Majesty, two things. The first thing is about the martial arts hall teaching materials.
I have completed the compilation and submitted it to the Cabinet for review. Your Majesty, please give me your instructions and preface, and then publish it! "
As he said this, he cupped his hands towards Wang Chengen, who waved outside. The Fang family and others carried dozens of books into the Dongnuan Pavilion and placed them on the table beside them.
Chongzhen stood up from behind the dragon case and walked to the desk and picked up the top...schedule (curriculum): "It's up to me, please briefly introduce it!"
"Your Majesty, in addition to the surgery department, each of the six major military departments has set up general courses and professional courses. The first year mainly focuses on literacy, calligraphy, classics, and horsemanship...the second year mainly studies...the fourth year mainly focuses on It’s an integration…”
Chongzhen looked at the course schedule and his mouth twitched.
According to the content of this class schedule, students entering the martial arts hall will definitely be under a lot of pressure.
Full military management, from getting up at the beginning of the day until the end of the day, seven hours a day.
In the first year, if you can't even recognize all the words, you have to memorize "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies". There must be a method in the courtyard for how to do this.
Those who can enter the martial arts hall are talented and intelligent people selected from all over the Ming Dynasty. Memorizing this is the easiest.
Mao Yuanyi talked for a quarter of an hour before finishing the course on the six major military subjects.
"Which version of the "Biography of Generals" is it that I requested?"
Zhang Fengyi on the side reached out and pulled out a book from a pile of books and held it up with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is it!"
He took the book and slowly flipped through the only book he requested.
From Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty, to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms, to Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty, to Yang Jiye of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, to Xu Da, Qi Jiguang, Qin Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty, etc., a total of twenty-eight people.
Each of these people has brilliant achievements and left a name in history. The most important thing is that they have one thing in common - loyalty!
This textbook is a must-study whether it is a basic class in a martial arts hall or a training class for generals.
Whether it is using the deeds of these famous generals to brainwash students, or using them to shape and subtly influence students' minds, in short, it will be enough to achieve the goal.
"I'll leave this "Biographies of Generals" here. I'll look at it later. Since the others have been reviewed by the cabinet, they will be printed directly!"
"I understand!"
After Mao Yuanyi responded, he added: "Your Majesty, the second thing is that I am planning to open the martial arts hall!"
Hearing this, Chongzhen's movement of turning the pages of the book stagnated slightly, and his eyes lit up: "Are you all ready?"
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready!"
Mao Yuanyi took out a booklet from her sleeve: "Doctors, teaching assistants, and direct lecturers from various military departments are in place.
Among them, 66 are full-time and 28 are part-time ministers of various ministries and agencies in the capital. There are many part-time ministers who have signed up.
However, the minister and others selected only twenty-eight people after review and based on the situation of the martial arts hall.
The first batch of students was 268, including 139 legitimate sons with honorary medals, and the rest were scouted by the patrol envoys of the Jiangwu Hall during the Ming Dynasty! All have been reviewed by Jinyiwei in the student’s place of residence!
This is the specific list and details, your Majesty, please take a look! "
After taking it, Chongzhen did not read it immediately, but asked: "Where is your planned activation time?"
"I checked with Qin Tianjian. At the second hour of the second lunar month, the dragon raised its head!"
Mao Yuanyi's eyes burned brightly: "Your Majesty, the dragon raises its head is also called the Spring Plowing Festival. When spring returns to the earth, the dragon god exerts its strength and is full of vitality. It is an auspicious day for good fortune.
The martial arts hall is the highest cradle of the Ming Dynasty’s generals. The students are all our future military generals of the Ming Dynasty. The age of eleven or twelve is the beginning of life, which is consistent with the dragon’s head! "
"Then it will be the second day of February. I will lead all the civil and military officials to participate. Just prepare here!"
"I obey the decree!"
After receiving the emperor's permission, Mao Yuanyi and Zhang Fengyi left with smiles on their faces.
In Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen took the list of doctors and students from Jiangwu Hall and sat down in front of Long An again. He directly skipped the list of full-time doctoral assistants. He looked at them in vain and probably didn't recognize them.
He was curious, what are the concurrent Ph.D.s?
After a while, Chongzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, secretly shouting, "What a guy!"
Can you imagine that the Minister of Rites taught a group of martial artists (refresher classes) how to read and write?
Can you imagine the right minister of the Ministry of War taking a group of dolls to recite Sun Tzu's Art of War?
Can you imagine the head of the Financial Department of the Ministry of Accounts taking a group of children to play with sticks (calculating) and dialing the abacus?
…
"It seems that their work is not full, and they still have the energy to do part-time jobs!"
Chongzhen sighed softly, but didn't say anything. As long as he did his job well, he didn't care about this.
After reading the list of doctors from various military disciplines, Chongzhen looked at the list of students.
The list of students is divided by province. There is a summary at the front of each province. How many people there are in total, how many in each prefecture, etc., are clear at a glance.
After roughly going through the list, Chongzhen turned the book to Shaanxi Province and looked at the lists one by one, with a smile slowly hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi, three future generals who were Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons and confidant generals with Li Dingguo, were finally captured by him.
Only now did he know that Li Dingguo was the youngest among the four, and Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, who were third and fourth, were actually older than Li Dingguo.
After reading the list, Chongzhen was in a good mood, but when he looked at the teaching materials on the desk, he frowned. Writing a preface to a book was very nerve-wracking.
"Yes!"
After a while, when Chongzhen accidentally saw the cover of the roster of the Jiangwu Hall, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he started writing on the rice paper.
It took a full half-quarter of an hour to stop.
What he wrote may not be satisfactory, but he can plagiarize it, but he will only plagiarize from later generations.
After reading it through, Chongzhen had a smile on his face. This article is not only the preface to the textbook, but also a speech at the opening of the martial arts hall. I believe it will be shocking and have far-reaching influence.
"I'm such a genius!"
“Since you plagiarized one piece, let’s plagiarize another one!”
With that said, he picked up the pen and wrote a couplet again, and said to Wang Chengen on the side: "My dear companion, arrange for someone to carve out this couplet and send it to the Martial Arts Hall. It can be regarded as my congratulatory gift!"
"In addition, Feng Luan (Heshenglang) of the Missionary Department and the left and right officials of Shufangzhai would like to see me!"
Wang Chengen, who had just received the rice paper, listened to his royal master's arrangements and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to music?"
