In the beginning, the three guards of Duoyan were actually the three guards of Wuliangha.
The Ulyanha tribe is a tribe. During the reign of Genghis Khan, the chief of his tribe, Zhelimai, was granted a title and moved from the source of the Onan River to the banks of the Xiehe River in the upper reaches of the Taoer River (a tributary of the Nenjiang River in the northeast).
In the early Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang drove away Bei Yuan, he traveled through the Northeast.
In the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng on an expedition to Liaodong, and more than 200,000 Naha troops were surrendered without bloodshed.
In April of the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang "placed Taining, Duoyan, and Fuyu as commanders and envoys in the land of Wuliangha to surrender to Hu."
At this time, Wuliangha became the place where the Wuliangha people lived.
Among the three guards of Taining, Duoyan, and Fuyu, the Taining Guard was the strongest. Its commander, Azashili, was the king of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Liao Dynasty. He was a descendant of Genghis Khan's youngest brother, Temuge Orchijin, and had a prominent position.
At this time, there were three Wuliangha guards, led by Taining guards, and Azasili could be said to be the leader of the three guards.
But after all, Azasili had the blood of the Golden Family flowing in his body. After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty for more than two years, Azasili rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and led an army to attack the Ming Dynasty's border.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not someone to be trifled with, and directly ordered Fu Youde and Guo Ying to go out and defeat Aza Shili.
Azasili's rebellion and failure caused heavy losses to the Taining Guards. Since then, the Taining Guards have been in decline. The Duoyan Guards took the opportunity to become stronger and gradually became the leader of the three guards. This is how the term Duoyan Three Guards came to be.
In a sense, the Ming Dynasty never formed a true sense of dominance over the three guards of Wuliangha or the three guards of Duoyan. From the beginning to the end, it was all a policy of restraint.
Including Ning Wang Zhu Quan at this time, he seemed to have 80,000 cavalry in Duoyan's three guards, and his troops were powerful, but Zhu Quan's control over Duoyan's three guards was not strong.
What really controls the three guards of Duoyan is their respective command histories.
The most elite troops under Zhu Quan are not the Three Duoyan Guards, but the 20,000 Yingzhou Three Guards. This is what allows Zhu Quan to sleep peacefully in Daning.
Liu Changge rode into Daning City at dawn.
For Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Liu Changge had no way to hide his whereabouts. If he came secretly and was discovered, he would not be able to tell clearly. If he came openly and openly, he would appear more open and natural.
Zhu Quan was secretly surprised by Liu Changge's arrival and did not dare to neglect him, so he held a banquet in Prince Ning's Mansion.
At first, Liu Changge was calm and indifferent, and he didn't care about Daning being demoted. However, when he changed glasses and was drunk, he started to complain: "I, Liu Changge, have also made contributions to the imperial court, but now? I have fallen into this state. Waiting for a desolate place! How sad.”
A trace of disdain flashed in Zhu Quan's eyes, and he immediately raised his glass and advised: "Master Liu is in his prime. He will surely return to the capital one day and enjoy glory again. Why should he care about a temporary trough?"
"Haha, Prince Ning is joking. Gu Sanshen has become the commander of the Security Bureau. How can he allow me to go back? Even if the emperor thinks of it, he will try his best to keep me outside the capital! I am just a person now. It’s so easy for him to squeeze me to death from such a small experience!”
Liu Changge drank it all in one gulp, threw his glass and drank angrily.
The corner of Zhu Quan's mouth moved slightly, Liu Changge made sense.
Once a person stands on a high position, he will never be willing to return to his previous position.
Now, Gu Sanjian has become the commander of the Security Bureau and holds great power. It is not difficult to block or get rid of Liu Changge.
Perhaps, Liu Changge is already a discarded chess piece.
Watching people get drunk is a method Zhu Quan uses well.
Liu Changge drank more and more. In the end, he grabbed the maid beside him, pointed at Zhu Quan and said, "I want this girl. Give it to me, or don't give it to me? Just say something!"
Zhu Quan looked at the presumptuous Liu Changge, stood up and shook his head: "Master Liu, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk! Let me tell you now, I, Liu Changge, came here with a secret order. You dare to refuse me if I want a woman. One day when I return to the capital, I will definitely sue you."
Liu Changge staggered towards Zhu Quan.
"Secret decree?"
Zhu Quan raised his brows slightly. This was an unexpected gain. He couldn't help but said: "What secret order? It's just that you were drunk and talking nonsense."
Liu Changge arrived in front of Zhu Quan and stretched out his hand. He couldn't catch Zhu Quan several times. He couldn't help but shouted depressedly: "Can you stop shaking, I can't catch you."
Zhu Quan looked at Liu Changge who was standing unsteadily and couldn't help but shook his head: This person is nothing more than that.
"The Emperor said that there is someone in Daning City who is disloyal. That person is you..."
Liu Changge pointed at Zhu Quan and said, his steps even more conceited.
Zhu Quan felt cold all over, was he disloyal?
Could it be that Liu Changge came here to investigate him on the emperor's order?
Liu Changge laughed, and then said: "Fang Kuan beside you, he is an old subordinate of King Yan. The emperor said, this person, this person..."
Zhu Quan looked at Liu Changge who was lying drunk on the ground and breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was almost scared to death by him.
The room is wide and Daning is the capital.
Yes, he was once Zhu Di's general, but this man has always been loyal to the court, and he has never had any personal relationship with Zhu Di. Is there something he doesn't know about?
"You will be his from now on."
Zhu Quan glanced at the maid who was pouring the wine, said something coldly, arranged for others to take Liu Changge to his residence, and then rolled up his sleeves and left.
Liu Changge was lying on the bed, sensing his surroundings. When he saw that no one was there, he opened his sharp eyes and said to himself: "Watching people drunk? Prince Ning, is this how cunning you are?"
In the study room of Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhu Quan hurriedly wrote a letter, summoning his personal guard Keshan, and told him: "Liu Changge should not be a threat, but to be on the safe side, I will send this letter to the commander of Duoyan Sanwei. The transaction shall be canceled starting today.”
"As commanded."
Keshan agreed, took a horse, and flew away from the palace.
When Keshan left Daning City, Yang Cheng was standing on the city wall, watching Keshan go north with Fang Kuan.
Fang Kuan put his hands on the city wall, stared at the north, and said: "His name is Keshan, and he is King Ning's personal guard. Even though I am the capital, I have no right to ask what King Ning does. The security bureau is different. If you investigate , I am willing to cooperate fully, whether it is the three guards of Yingzhou or the three guards of Guangning, they are all soldiers of the imperial court."
Yang Cheng nodded slightly and said: "Prince Ning is close to the three guards of Duoyan, and they often move around and communicate with each other. This is normal. The emperor is just worried that someone will give too many supplies to the three guards of Duoyan, causing these supplies to fall into the hands of the Tatars."
Fang Kuan understood and asked: "For this point, the Pontus Division can only guarantee that the imperial army's food and military supplies will be distributed on demand. As for whether someone facilitated the merchants and opened a door, the Security Bureau needs to find out. "
Yang Cheng took a deep look at Fang Kuan. He didn't seem to have much favorable impressions of Prince Ning.
"How many people are there in Duoyan Sanwei in the city?"
Yang Cheng asked.
Fang Kuan waved his hand and said: "Who dares to let the troops of the Three Duoyan Guards be stationed in the city? They are all placed in the south of the city. There are 20,000 Duoyan Three Guards there, and all their officers are in the city."
After Yang Cheng explored some things, he said: "In a few days, people from the Security Bureau will disguise themselves as caravans and enter Daning Mansion. At that time, please ask Du Si to find a way to pass the news to the officers of Duoyan Sanwei."
"good."
Fang Kuan agreed without hesitation.
The north wind is howling and the weather is getting colder. The leaves in the city have withered and turned yellow, falling with the wind, like a butterfly that has nowhere to go, rolling around and finally falling to the ground.
Capital, Nanjing Imperial College.
With great courage and courage, Yang Shiqi restructured the Imperial College and set up three main subjects and twelve minor subjects. According to the level of study, Yang Shiqi allocated three classes to the upper class and three classes to the lower class.
The reform of the Imperial College system was not smooth sailing.
Although Yang Shiqi received the support of Zhu Yunwen, he also encountered many obstacles in the innovation process. One of the biggest obstacles was that mathematics was compared with the Four Books and the Five Classics and set as a main subject.
Almost all officials of the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites opposed this decision.
In their view, the Four Books and Five Classics are the words of saints, and their status is revered and unshakable. Although mathematics is one of the six arts, it cannot be compared with the Four Books and Five Classics.
Yang Shiqi explained it many times, but nothing made sense. As a last resort, he called all the opponents together and affirmed the status of mathematics as a subject with the sentence "Mathematics is the foundation of minor subjects."
No matter what kind of knowledge it is, it needs mathematics as a support. How can a person without mathematics foundation learn secondary subjects?
Business studies require mathematical calculations of costs and profits, as well as tax calculations.
Agricultural science, measuring land, estimating harvests, calculating taxes, buying and selling vegetables...
Military science, the size of the troops, the amount of food and fodder, how far and how long it takes to walk from Nanjing to Peking, how many enemies are killed during the war, how much damage is done, and how much the court pensions are, none of which does not require mathematics?
Why can’t such basic knowledge be compared with the Four Books and Five Classics?
The problem of the status of mathematics was solved by dividing the areas of the Imperial Academy. Based on the curriculum, the entire Imperial Academy was divided into three main courtyards and twelve branches. Excellent people from all walks of life were invited to serve as deans, doctors, teaching assistants, etc. .
At the Military Academy, Wailang Shipu, the assistant instructor of the Ministry of War, talked eloquently, explaining the art of war to all the supervisors, quoting classics, and winning applause from the whole room.
"Destroy Zhao Pingyan, fight with all his might, put him to death and survive..."
Zhu Yunwen sat in the back row and listened to Shi Pu's talk about the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony. He admired Han Xing's troops and tried his best to exaggerate it.
Although many prison students understood it, Zhu Yunwen noticed that there were still many people who looked confused.
Especially when Shi Pu was talking about the war, he would name places and rivers from time to time. However, Jiansheng did not know where these places were. He only knew that there was such a place and a river where such a thing happened.
After the class, Zhu Yunwen found the problem.
Ancient teaching only had three things: mouth, book, and ruler, and nothing else.
If it were the Four Books and Five Classics, it would be easy if there were textbooks, but there are no textbooks in the Military Academy yet. Students can only rely on imagination and memory to understand, so the effect is somewhat poor.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the wall behind Shi Pu and smiled bitterly. He was using the blackboard and forgot about the Imperial College...
Wouldn't it be easier to explain all kinds of knowledge in a direct way like a blackboard?
The old story of Han Xin breaking Zhao Pingyan can be marked on the blackboard by marking the location, river, marching route, and place of battle, so that everyone can have a clear understanding and better appreciate the charm of the art of war.
To innovate education, we can’t just start by innovating the system, but also need to innovate teaching methods and equipment.
Blackboard, chalk, blackboard eraser...
These are not difficult for Ming craftsmen at all.
Zhu Yunwen knew that the transformation of talents was the original driving force for the transformation of the country. If he wanted to realize the prosperous Ming Dynasty, he would need a large number of talents.
Maybe, I should teach them a lesson and let them see what is an advanced education method.
"Your Majesty, this class is over, can I go to the business school?"
Jie Jin asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "I'm not going. You can pass the order on my behalf. I will give classes in person the next day. All the officials and lecturers from the Imperial Academy will come to attend the lectures."
