Ru Yu, Xu Huizu and others would not have any objections. The training of the Beijing Army seems to have reached a certain bottleneck, and it is reasonable to introduce new training items.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Ru Yu and said seriously: "The war in Guangxi has sounded the alarm, and we should listen to it. The training of sergeants must keep up, and the selection of generals cannot be delayed. The Ministry of War is now ordered to discuss with the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army to launch the "Martial Arts Examination" as soon as possible Law", so that the regulations on martial arts can be finalized and implemented throughout the country."
"The Ministry of War is responsible for the introduction, interpretation, and provincial examinations, and I am responsible for the palace examination. The first martial arts palace examination will be held in October this year! Although the time is a bit tight, it is better than delaying it for a year."
Ru Yun took a deep breath, the emperor finally wanted to implement the martial arts system.
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the imperial examination and military examination systems. However, Zhu Yuanzhang "emphasized civility over martial arts" in governing the country, and the military examination system did not even go through a formality.
This is not to blame Zhu Yuanzhang. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were a lot of outstanding military generals. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong... who was not a well-known and powerful figure!
There is no need to rely on military examinations to select people, what a joke!
As for the late Hongwu period, all the founding military generals were almost dead, and the remaining Lan Yu and a group of rookies were also sent away by Zhu Yuanzhang. The martial arts system at this time was even more useless.
Even if there is a martial arts competition, no one would dare to go there. The words "Gate of Hell" are written on the tickets. Who would dare?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not need to rely on military examinations to select people, but Zhu Yunwen did...
His grandfather cut down 90% of the experienced generals, and his grandson could only use martial arts to fill the holes.
Zhu Yunwen was really helpless. He really didn't have many generals at his disposal. Zhu Di was good at large-scale cavalry operations. It might not be appropriate for him to go to the mountains to fight guerrillas in forest warfare. Apart from Zhu Di, there were a few other generals who could be used. general?
Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, could not leave in Datong, Ping An could not move in Peiping, Sheng Yong went to Daning, Qu Neng stared at Shanhaiguan, Geng Bingwen was in Jinan, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were at sea again...
Counting on fingers, only Xu Huizu, Song Sheng, He Fu, Tie Xuan and others are left. But the capital needs Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan. He Fu is still making money. Song Sheng must also stay in the capital. Once the northwest is unstable, , he still has to go back.
Historically, the Ming Dynasty's "Martial Arts Law" and the martial arts system were truly formed after Zhu Qizhen became emperor for the second time. However, considering that this dear friend may not have the opportunity to go to Tumubao for a business trip, Zhu Yunwen simply did it in advance. .
The establishment of the military examination system is not good news for civilian officials. Although Ru Jin leads the military department, he is also a civilian official. He naturally does not want to see military attachés become powerful.
However, Zhu Yunwen's order could not be refused, so Ru Rui had no choice but to bow her head and agree.
As military figures, Xu Huizu, Song Sheng and Zhu Di strongly welcomed the military examination system.
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment and said: "The people who take the martial arts examination are mainly selected from among the people. As for the Beijing army and local guards, they should not overly participate in the martial arts examination."
The smile on Xu Huizu's face suddenly froze, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, it may chill the sergeant's heart..."
If people in the army don't give them a chance to do martial arts exercises, how can they be successful?
Seeing that Xu Huizu was anxious, Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly and said: "I just said that the martial arts competitions are mainly for civilians, and some of the sergeants can be assigned to participate, with a slightly lower proportion, as a supplement."
Xu Huizu frowned, even if the ratio was reduced, it would be unfair to the sergeant.
Without waiting for Xu Huizu to object, Zhu Yunwen said: "
The five military governors can unite and hold an army-wide competition every three years to select the top 100 warrior kings. Among the top 100 warrior kings, the best three will be selected to serve as commanders, five will serve as commanders, and twelve will serve as commanders. One person serves as a commanding officer, and the others enjoy the treatment of a thousand households. "
"What?"
Ru Yu looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise.
You must know that the commander, the commander's colleague, and the commander are all classified into the third rank, the third rank, and the fourth rank. They are also the highest officers in the guard post. Such generous treatment is really surprising.
Xu Huizu immediately raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the emperor would be so wise. He quickly thanked him and said, "On behalf of the Governor of the Fifth Army and the millions of soldiers, I would like to express my gratitude to the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Once this strategy is started, the soldiers will be trained enthusiastically, and the quality and combat power of the Japanese soldiers will increase day by day. With such a capable division, the Ming Dynasty will be powerful in all countries!
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and warned Ru Yun, Tie Xuan and others: "The scholars are the soul of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers are the backbone of my Ming Dynasty. Without the soul, the Ming Dynasty will die, and without the backbone, the Ming Dynasty will fall! I hope you can understand this, don't do it Wrong mistake!"
Ru Yu's expression changed. This was the emperor's most direct blow. He didn't want the civil servants to suppress the military attachés too much!
Faced with Ru Yu who begged for punishment, Zhu Yunwen didn't care. It was a good thing to have a civil and military fight to prevent the military attaché from becoming too arrogant. It was okay to fight but not to knock people to the ground.
After returning to the Ministry of War, Ru Yu quickly summoned Liu Jun, Gu Pu, Lu Yuan and others, then looked at Tie Xuan next to him, and said to everyone: "It has been nearly three months, and Chun Wei has not issued a list yet, but the emperor has issued a list for the warriors. . The first military examination will be held in October this year, which means that our Ministry of War needs to complete the introduction test, interpretation test, and provincial test within seven months!"
"Seven months, how is this possible?"
Liu Jun was stunned on the spot.
You must know that the seedlings who practice martial arts do not live in the Qinhuai River. They are just a short walk away. It is just to convey the news. It will take a month or two for those who are farther away. This does not include their exam time. The introduction and interpretation of the exam are conducted locally. Even if it is just a formality, it will take a month.
Once you pass, you still have to go to Beijing to take the exam, which will take time...
Besides, personnel preparation, place arrangements, venue selection, assessment, list posting... none of this takes time!
The emperor gave too little time, it was simply not enough!
Ru Yun was warned by Zhu Yunwen and became a little upset. She said seriously: "The emperor's order cannot be violated. You should think of ways to act."
Liu Jun and others were a little depressed and at a loss.
Tie Xuan sighed and said: "I have enough time, but I am just a little nervous. First convey the news to various prefectures, counties and villages, and the Ministry of War can send documents to various yamen, and they will cooperate in conveying it. Then arrange for examination rooms to be set up in various places, and preparations for military affairs will be made." For this matter, we will arrange personnel to go to various places to check and invigilate the exams."
"As for the "Martial Arts Law", it can be completed before the provincial examination. However, in my opinion, it can be imitated in the Song Dynasty and submitted to the emperor for inspection as soon as possible. After all, the October palace examination is not a problem."
Ru Yun nodded slightly, and then ordered: "As Tie Xuan said, make arrangements to go."
The martial arts examination system began during the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, but the martial arts examinations at that time mainly focused on combat skills and physical fitness. It can be said that "emphasis on martial arts and light on literature", that is, the "strategic talent" of martial arts examinations was not examined.
Of course, the selection of generals in the Tang Dynasty did not rely solely on the military examination system. It also set up a "systematic examination" system, and among some of the subjects in the examination system, some subjects were specifically
It was set up to select military generals with "both civil and military skills".
Although the martial arts examination system in the Tang Dynasty had many shortcomings, it was not without merit. For example, Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, had a martial arts examination background.
In the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was no martial arts examination system. The Zhao family valued literature over martial arts, but this was not an option. They were suppressed and beaten by the northern nomads for many years, so they had no choice but to use the martial arts examination system.
The martial arts examination system in the Song Dynasty was similar to the imperial examination system. It was also a three-level examination. The interpretation examination corresponded to the provincial examination, the provincial examination corresponded to the general examination, and the palace examination was naturally the same. However, the martial arts examination system of the Song Dynasty added an additional level before the Jie test, called the Yin test.
The so-called introduction test is a competition to see if you have real skills. Those who can only play monkey tricks or be fooled by monkeys cannot go. If you don't have skills, don't run to solve the test, so as not to delay people's queue...
Tie Xuan tended to copy the martial arts system of the Song Dynasty. Judging from Zhu Yunwen's arrangements, he seemed to be inclined to this type of plan.
"My Healing Game"
However, the details still need to be adjusted.
The "Martial Arts Examination Law" needs to clarify the content of the imperial examination, admission standards, salary standards, Chinese-style awarding of officials... It is very cumbersome, and it also needs to be connected with the Fifth Army Governor's Office. The Ministry of War is afraid that it will not have a good life in the next six months.
After Zhu Yunwen finished busy with government affairs, he fell into deep thought.
The introduction of the martial arts system is naturally beneficial. These people are needed to resist foreign aggression and maintain unity. These people are also needed to suppress resistance and maintain rule.
However, the talents selected through military elections may not be real generals. Real generals need to be produced through war.
The imperial examination will be held for the first time in October this year. When will the opportunity mature? When Annan is taken care of, he can bring a group of people there. If one or two more talents like Zhang Fu can come out, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!
Even if there are no Zhang Fu-level generals, it would be good to have a few brave generals.
To put it bluntly, this is an investment.
"Your Majesty, Dai Deyi, the imperial censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, would like to see you."
Shuangxi reported in a low voice.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and invited him to enter the palace.
After Dai Deyi saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, the results of the Spring Examination will be released soon, and the Palace Examination will also be held as scheduled. I would like to request that sixty tribute scholars be selected from among the top two and three tops to be admitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Zhu Yunwen rubbed his brows and said: "Dai Aiqing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate recently added more than two hundred people, and now they have spread all over the country. Sixty tributes are required. Is this too much?"
As a supervisory agency, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has advantages in having more people, but too many people can also be a trouble. The person in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate now is Dai Deyi, and he can control the situation. If someone changes in the future, who can? Controlling such a large plate?
If the supervisory agency becomes a tool for criticizing the government, a single memorial from one person is enough to drown any minister or even oneself!
You know, in the court, whoever has a louder voice will have the advantage.
The staff department, which is the head of the six departments, has a total of only more than 200 people, and the inspectorate has more than 300 people. If you add more people, it will reach 400. These people can speak and write bullets.
It is not impossible to deal with a political enemy, wrongly accuse a good person, and support a puppet.
Liu Ji and Liu Bowen played this way back then, and the result was that Zhu Yuanzhang was "repeatedly dissatisfied with Li Shanchang and scolded him frequently."
Dai Deyi replied with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I am asking for sixty people, not to supervise the local area, but only to supervise the censors sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I use the history of defense to collude with the local area. I am slacking off and doing nothing!"
