Chapter 21 The Military Academy Opens
On the ninth day of the fifth month, Nanjing Imperial College.
This morning, the most popular car BMW was scrambling to the road in front of the highest institution of the Ming Dynasty, and it was very lively. But it was not because of itself, but because of the founding of the Imperial Ming Military Academy.
As an official school appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, the positioning of the Huangming Military Academy is very clear, that is, to train officers for the Ming Dynasty.
The people who do things assigned by the emperor himself are naturally very attentive. However, the location of the Imperial Ming Military Academy is a difficult task.
Gao Hongtu, Minister of Works, felt that rebuilding an official school was very expensive, and suggested that the emperor renovate it based on the existing official school.
Zhu Cilang also felt that the situation was serious now and he had to save money for every penny, so he agreed with Gao Hongtu's suggestion.
There are two locations planned by Gao Shangshu, one is Nanjing Martial Arts and the other is Nanjing Imperial College.
These two places are official schools of the Ming Dynasty, and it is easier to transform.
In terms of type, Nanjing martial arts is closer to military academy, but Zhu Cixuan finally chose to transform the Nanjing Imperial College.
Because the scale of Nanjing martial arts is too small, there are no extra houses for renovation. If you want to reclaim land, it will be no different from building a new official school.
Furthermore, although both official schools are located in Nanjing Zhongcheng, the specific locations are far behind.
Nanjing Martial Arts is located south of Sanyuan Lane and east of Paoma Lane, not far from Yingtian Prefecture. The location of Nanjing Imperial College is further north, located north of Sipailou and west of Chengxian Street, covering an area of 1 yard.
If you want to find a reference object to locate it, Nanjing Imperial College is very close to Xuanwu Lake, just south of Beihu Yanliu, one of the famous forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling.
Nanjing Imperial College is too big, and most of the houses are vacant and unused, so it is very easy to renovate and transform. Another important reason why Zhu Cixuan chose this place is that there is the right yamen of the Imperial College east of the Imperial College. Although the Governor's Office of the Five Army is abolished, the remaining parks can be used for students of the Huangming Military Academy to arrange their arrays and practice. The most suitable place is the small schoolyard of the right yamen of the Mansion Army.
The only problem is that the students of Nanjing Imperial College responded strongly to this.
Literary and military men are two naturally hostile groups, especially in the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of scholars, military men were both a group of Qiu Baruo men with a well-developed mind and simple limbs. Now, His Majesty the Emperor actually recruited some Imperial College to build an Imperial Ming military academy.
Although these number houses are not available, these supervisors still feel very unhappy.
In their opinion, it doesn't matter if they can't use it, but it's impossible to let the military academy be built for the military people.
Therefore, after the final decision of this plan, the Imperial College Supervisory Students gathered in front of Zhengyang Gate to petition.
This is also the killer move for literati to express their views. Whether it is a civil servant or a scholar who has not entered the official position, he is easy to use.
In their opinion, as long as they gather hundreds of people, kneel down and howl, the emperor will have to give in.
But this time the emperor was indifferent and let them cry and shout and ignored it. Finally, his knees were sore and he returned to the Imperial College in shame.
After the large-scale petition of the Imperial College Supervisory Supervisory Students could not protest, the Ministry of Works formally sent people to renovate the Imperial College Supervisory, circled some of the idle houses, and completed the tasks assigned by the emperor in the shortest time.
Today is the first day of the founding of the Imperial Ming Military Academy and the first day of the school year. For this reason, the emperor even arrived in person and delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.
This made the students of the Imperial College Supervisor very jealous. You should know that after the emperor ascended the throne, he had not come to the Imperial College to visit them, such as the future pillars of the country. Now he is actually arrogant for a group of Qiu Bashu...
They really wanted to kneel in front of the gate of the Huangming Military Academy to express their anger, but considering that they had just knelt outside Zhengyang Gate for half a day and now their knees are sore, they pressed this idea back.
Of course, Zhu Cilang would not have the leisure time to make trouble for these students. Now he has too many things to worry about. Often, he still has many memorials that have not been reviewed after a busy day.
This shows the importance of the cabinet. If the cabinet does not make a ticket to the memorials sent by the Tongzheng Department and all the decisions are made by the emperor, it would be exhausting.
In other words, super workaholics like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang can enjoy it.
The first students at the founding of the Imperial Ming Military Academy were not sufficient, and the students were basically the sons and nephews of each general and the deputy general. This is of course not Zhu Cixuan’s original intention. In his vision, the main students at the Imperial Ming Military Academy were those who performed well in the new army, so as to give the new army soldiers another step in addition to competing for military merit.
However, the new army has just begun training, and it will take three months to select the outstanding ones from them to study at the Huangming Military Academy. Before that, the Huangming Military Academy could not be idle, so it is best to select the general and the deputy general's nephew as the first batch of students.
There is another advantage in doing this, that is, Zhu Cilang can take the opportunity to win over these old warlords. Before he completely grasps military power, he still has to appease these people.
Of course, these military generals are also equivalent to hostages to some extent, which can make these military leaders take risks.
After the lecture, Zhu Cixuan did not return to the palace immediately, but asked the eunuch to go to the Imperial College to summon someone.
This person is either someone else, or the famous Zheng Chenggong.
However, at this time, Zheng Chenggong was still called Zheng Sen, and he was just an Imperial College Supervisor in his early twenties.
After hearing the emperor summoned him, Zheng Sen was extremely excited and did not care about burning incense and bathing. He directly followed the eunuch to the Imperial Ming Military Academy to accept Zhu Cixuan's summoning.
Zhu Cixuan highly praised Zheng Chenggong in his previous life, believing that Guo's surname and Li Dingguo were among the few people in the Southern Ming Dynasty who were able to change the historical trend. If Zheng Chenggong could win the famous battle in Nanjing, perhaps the entire history would have been rewritten accordingly.
After traveling through time, Zhu Cilang also hoped to meet Zheng Chenggong very much. Although Zheng Chenggong had not yet emerged at this time, it was always right that the good seedlings were received earlier.
Zhu Cilang, wearing a winged crown and wearing a bright yellow robe, sat upright in the head of the martial arts hall of the Huangming Military Academy. This position should have been seated by the lecturer, of course, there was no problem with Zhu Cilang sitting here, after all, he was the principal of the Huangming Military Academy.
"See Zheng Sen, a supervisor of the Imperial College,"
Zhu Cilang carefully looked at the young man walking into the martial arts hall in a small step.
I saw Zheng Sen wearing a crimson blue straight body, a net scarf and square-toed shoes. Although he was dressed as a Confucian scholar, his figure was very strong.
After looking closely, Zheng Jiansheng had a high forehead, wide nose, straight mouth, and his eyes were bright and solemn. After entering the martial arts hall, he pushed the Jinshan Mountain and the Jade Pillar to pay a big gift to Zhu Cilang.
"Zheng Sen, a student of the Imperial College, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
