Zhu Yunwen's words shook everyone's souls.
Xu Huizu's eyes were wet, Song Sheng was choked with sobs and could not speak, and everyone in the army was moved.
Since the Battle of Yuerhai in the 21st year of Hongwu, there have been very few wars in the Ming Dynasty. Except for the suppression of the Tainingwei rebellion and the Southwest Luchuan rebellion, there have been few major wars to speak of.
The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked!
People in the military are no longer useful. This has almost become an unshakable view of many officials and scholars.
In their minds, military personnel are the source of separatist rule and harm to the country and the people. They quote scriptures one by one just to illustrate one problem:
Soldiers cannot be relied on, so we can only rely on civilians!
Soldiers are not human beings, only civilians are human beings!
This is the view of many literati and many courtiers. Although they know that soldiers guard the empire, they still degrade them to the extreme.
What came out of his mouth was: Rough man, warrior, common man!
Xu Huizu has been under pressure from the civil service community, and this pressure is getting stronger and stronger!
The Ministry of War is constantly trying to find opportunities to install literati in the army. For example, after the Navy Commander Chen Xuan was investigated, the Ministry of War did not recommend Wu Xun to replace the Navy Commander, but chose the literati Gusuan!
The top person in charge of the naval fleet has been transferred to the Ministry of War!
The Ministry of Household Affairs has strict control over the expenses of the governor's office and the army. It is as much as it says, and every penny has to be calculated separately. As for civil servants, they should be tolerant if they can. The tail of a few hundred taels of silver can be wiped off at will!
If Zhu Yunwen had not implemented the new army policy and made the army one of the priorities of his policy, I am afraid that the Fifth Army Governor's Office would have been overwhelmed by the Ministry of War, and all actions were completely under the orders of the Ministry of War.
Wu Xun knew very well who the people in the Ministry of War were. They had always looked down on uneducated warriors who could only dance and stick. In their eyes, the real heroes were those who settled the world with their pens.
A martial artist?
Aren't they the thugs kept in captivity by the Ming Dynasty?
Xu Huizu knew very well that the methods of civilian officials were terrible, and during the reorganization of the three major battalions, he took great care of the people in the military department. However, Xu Huizu also knew that these actions would not help the overall situation. In an era where civil servants were valued over military affairs, they would still overwhelm his own body. Leaving behind a limp body.
Xu Huizu never thought that the emperor would stand up to rectify the names of the soldiers and prove their military exploits. This meant that the Ming Dynasty was likely to follow a path of "equal emphasis on civil and military affairs."
A good bow does not necessarily need to be hidden, and a lackey does not necessarily need to be eaten.
Warriors are valuable and have a future!
Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Yunwen and was deeply impressed by this young emperor. His talent, strategy and courage had the style of the great ancestor, but he was a little less murderous and paranoid, and a little more rational and steady.
Zhu Yunwen not only affirmed the soldiers, but also publicly announced the idea of implementing a recruitment system for the first time, and put forward the slogan "Serve the Ming Dynasty, it is glorious to join the army, kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and protect the home and the country."
Zhu Di looked at the high-spirited Zhu Yunwen and nodded secretly. His nephew was very extraordinary. His thoughts seemed to have extraordinary foresight, but when he thought about it carefully, he found it was so reasonable.
But these reasonable thoughts have never occurred to me, as if something has always existed but no one has ever discovered it.
Zhu Yunwen was engaged in military affairs and talked about the northern frontier. From the northern frontier, he turned to the southeast coast and then to Nanyang...
Each piece of paper depicts the corresponding situation, combined with the touching speech, taking everyone to the depths of the rough sea.
"In the future, ship construction should focus on medium-sized ships and giant ships. The sea is ferocious and full of dangers. How can it not be a rich and treasured land? If our Ming Navy is invincible in the four seas, we should open up trade in the four directions and currency China..."
All Zhu Yunwen's remarks are derived from the Third Main Court and the Twelfth Vice-President of the Imperial College.
Out, aiming to tell everyone:
Although there are distinctions between the principal and the deputy chambers in the Imperial College, there is no distinction between high and low in learning itself.
Yang Shiqi is very grateful to Zhu Yunwen, because his class completely solved the problem of how to see the Twelve Courtyards, and no one will call them "Twelve Miscellaneous Courtyards" anymore.
And the novel teaching method made everyone's eyes shine. It turns out that the lecture can still be taught like this...
Blackboards, chalks, and erasers were ordered in large quantities. Yang Shiqi and Fang Xiaoru directly requested that the blackboard teaching method be implemented in various prefectures and counties.
Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.
Standing on a wall for thousands of feet, if you have no desire, you will be strong.
These sixteen characters have become the "school motto" of the Imperial College and are engraved on the stone tablet. They tell everyone who enters and exits the Imperial College to have a broad mind, absorb all kinds of knowledge, and have a will like a mountain, unwavering. , a long walk.
Ministry of War.
Ru Yu sat down, looked at Liu Jun with a stern face, and said slowly: "The emperor is warning us."
Liu Jun frowned slightly but did not refute.
Zhu Yunwen's speech in the Imperial College affirmed the soldiers and raised the status of military honors. This is an indisputable fact. The logic behind this fact is that the emperor did not want the Ministry of War to interfere too much in the affairs of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
Liu Jun looked stern and said softly: "My lord, military attachés should still be the main candidates for the selection of officers for the Governor's Office and the Guard Station of the Five Armies. This time the emperor is trying to beat him. If he directly rejects it next time, it will not end well."
Ru Yu nodded slightly.
Although the emperor agreed that Gu Pu should succeed Chen Xuan as the commander-in-chief of the navy, he might not be able to win the Holy Heart because of civilian control of the navy.
"If Gu Pu is replaced, who do you think can serve as the commander-in-chief of the Navy?"
Rujun knew that although Gu Pu was an honest man and had read military books, he had never been on the battlefield or led troops, so he might not be able to gain a firm foothold in the navy.
Since the emperor is unhappy, then be more conscious and give in.
Liu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Li Jian, the Prince Consort."
Ru Yu was not satisfied with this answer and said: "Li Jian is a former military governor. He has always been loyal to the royal family and never interacted with civil servants. If the navy is handed over to him, the Ministry of War's control over the navy will be weakened." .”
Liu Jun shook his head helplessly and said: "My lord, what you are thinking about now should be the state affairs, not the military department. It is enough for Li Jian to be loyal to the royal family. At least he is not inclined to Xu Huizu and King Yan. .”
Ru Yu was silent for a while. Seeing that he could not think of a better candidate, he said: "Arrange for someone to write a letter to impeach Gu Pu. Let him come back and recommend Li Jian to take charge of the navy."
Liu Jun understood.
Kunning Palace.
Ma Enhui was holding the hand of the concubine Luo Yan'er, and said enviously: "You are a lucky person. The emperor has given you the special gift to go home to visit your relatives. This is an honor that neither I nor I will have."
Luo Yan'er smiled bitterly, lowered her head and said, "The Queen is joking, I don't want to pay any visit to relatives, I just want to stay in the palace. This time I say it is to pay visits to relatives, but in fact I am just a supervisor."
go home?
Luo Yan'er didn't expect much.
Her father was killed, her mother committed suicide, her second uncle bullied her, her grandmother was weak, and her uncle was incompetent.
There is no one in that home who can warm me.
The only ones he cared about were his younger brother Luo Guanying and younger sister Luo Yuan'er.
The emperor agreed to return to Jurong himself, ostensibly to visit relatives, but in fact, on behalf of the emperor, he integrated the Jurong lime kiln into a huge lime kiln, exclusively for the imperial court.
Ma Enhui stood up and said softly: "Just be satisfied. Not to mention my Ming Dynasty, but the former Song Dynasty, which concubine can be married? But based on your contribution to medical gauze, coupled with your repeated efforts to solve the emperor's heart knot, and won the Holy Heart, It makes sense to express my love for Jurong. But is the limestone really so important?"
Luo Yaner is serious
He nodded and said: "This is what the emperor said, I can only believe it."
Ma Enhui also knew Luo Yan'er's true mission, so she asked: "Although it is not far from Jurong, the fatigue of the carriage and horse is still inevitable. Don't rush to rush, your body and bones are important."
Luo Yaner thanked Ma Enhui.
Ma Enhui took out a piece of paper from the table, handed it to the maid Yinxiu beside her, and said, "Instruct the inner treasury to move these items to Chengqian Palace."
Luo Yan'er quickly stopped and said: "Queen, there is no important person in my family anymore, so I'd better skip these items."
Ma Enhui waved her hand and asked Yinxiu to do it. She turned to Luo Yan'er and said: "I know that you are suffering, but sister, you must know that you are now the emperor's concubine and a concubine in the harem. If you want to marry me, you will have nothing to do." Etiquette, what do the Jurong gentry think? What do the common people think? The royal family’s face still needs to be taken care of.”
Luo Yan'er didn't know what to say after hearing this.
The sound of salutes came from outside the door. Ma Enhui and Luo Yan'er walked towards the door and saluted Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen nodded with a smile, said "no courtesy", walked to the desk, sat down a little tiredly, and said, "I'm a little thirsty, is there any cold tea?"
Romance
Ma Enhui walked to the table, poured a cup, handed it over, and said, "Warm tea is best."
Zhu Yunwen took it, drank it all in one gulp, handed it back, looked at Luo Yan'er, and asked, "Concubine Shu, have you thought about it?"
Luo Yan'er's eyes averted for a moment, then she said angrily: "What else can I think about? The emperor has arranged everything, so I can only go to Jurong..."
Ma Enhui shook her head and said nothing.
A concubine's visit to the family can only be granted by the emperor's special gift, and her family members are still allowed to come to the palace. This kind of treatment, such as going home directly, can be said to be "unconventional" and a great honor for the concubine.
Only Luo Yan'er would think that this is a laborious and cumbersome matter. However, it is also understandable that her parents and close relatives are no longer here, and she will inevitably be sad to see her relatives in Jurong.
Rather than getting closer to the pain, it is better to keep a distance. This may be Shu Fei's mentality.
Zhu Yunwen drank another cup of tea to relieve his thirst, and said: "My concubine's trip is not only about family affairs, but also state affairs. I need a lot of lime. Whether I can integrate the Jurong limestone mine depends on my concubine's ability." The reason why I don’t let the imperial court get involved is that I hope that my concubine can save two points to benefit the people when integrating the lime mines.”
"If the court officials are involved, they will inevitably be greedy. No matter how many limestone mines there are in Jurong, they will not benefit the people and will not improve the local people's livelihood. Therefore, I plan to ask for two cents of the limestone mines in the name of my beloved concubine. These two cents will be given by The Luo and Guo families supervise and manage Jurong roads, bridges, care for orphans and widows, and county schools..."
Luo Yan'er kept it in mind and said, "I have written it down."
Zhu Yunwen picked up his pen, calculated it carefully, and said: "As for the price of lime, the maximum price per stone must not exceed five yuan. Concubine Ai will not say anything about the specific pricing. If they are interested, they will give a suitable price. As for the rest, let's do it cheaply. . If you really can’t make up your mind, send someone to ask.”
Luo Yan'er looked at Zhu Yunwen with some reluctance in her eyes.
This night, the candlelight in Chengqian Palace flickered uncertainly.
Until the sky became bright, Zhu Yunwen arranged for the imperial eunuch Wang Yue to take care of Luo Yaner with his servants and maids. Guo Gang from the Security Bureau led 200 feathered forest guards and thirty-six large and small cars to leave the palace. .
Zhu Yunwen yawned and rubbed his back, but was despised by Ma Enhui, who arranged for Supervisor Shang to prepare supplements. Zhu Yunwen quickly explained that he did nothing last night and talked all night. It was obvious that Ma Enhui did not believe this version at all...
"Your Majesty, the Gunpowder Department of the Second Artillery Bureau has been established."
Gu Sanshen entered Wuying Palace and reported quickly.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, he put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Go to Houhu."
