1004 Daming Advanced Weaponry Hall
Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang and others looked at Li Zicheng with only admiration! The emperor only gave a number of 1,000 troops this time. The guerrilla general Li Zicheng could not be full, so they naturally could not participate. It is a pity to miss such a good opportunity!
In fact, Li Zicheng didn't say anything. It was because he was unwilling to accept the current situation, so he cared about the news outside Hetao, thinking about the opportunity to make him successful again.
Time flies very quickly. Half a month later, Li Zicheng selected a thousand subordinates from each army. Most of these subordinates were Mongolians, and they were people who were as unwilling to accept their current situation as they were, and they also wanted to gain some wealth and honor, and earn their wives and children.
Hong Chengchou was also very proud of this matter. When Li Zicheng brought an intermediate officer to Beijing, he actually sent it to the gate of the Governor's Office, so that many people could see it. The treatment Li Zicheng received was envious and jealous.
In the capital, when Emperor Chongzhen knew that the first person willing to stand up and accept this order was Li Zicheng, he was stunned for a while and had to admit that Li Zicheng was indeed excellent in his original history. At least he had a very sensitive sense of this matter.
When Li Zicheng led the intermediate officer to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the several booklets that had been prepared on the imperial case, and a new idea arose in his mind, thinking that he should take this opportunity to do what he had thought of before.
So, the next day, the second day, the deputy governors of the second rank and above of the Governor's Office, the governors and the left and right governors were all ordered and arrived at the Forbidden City early.
The Governor's Office of the Five Army had great power at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Taizu made it clear that the Governor's Office of the Five Army had only the power to command troops, but not the power to dispatch troops. This means that the Governor's Office of the Five Army was only responsible for military training. The power to dispatch troops belonged to the Ministry of War. Once there was a war and the emperor's order continued, the Ministry of War assigned generals and troops to go to war. This was a check and balance strategy to prevent military generals from gaining troops. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the power of the Ministry of War became increasingly greater. In fact, the Governor's Office of the Five Army had just become the executive department of the Ministry of War and became a subordinate yamen.
In this way, the Governor's Office of the Five Army can be said to be a idle yamen. Even the assessment of hereditary military officers will not do their best, because the final results and the selection of the list of military generals will be sent to the Ministry of War for decision.
It is also because of this that these chief officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Army have almost nothing to do and do nothing to do, and even the power to participate in politics and affairs has gradually disappeared. But in the past year, when Emperor Chongzhen was involved in military and political affairs, he also asked these senior officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Army to attend. However, due to historical reasons, these chief officials of the Governor's Office of the Five Army almost acted as a spectator. Only Emperor Chongzhen asked about the war between the enemy. Just as Emperor Chongzhen consulted Zu Dashou in the last discussion on the war.
The civil servants don’t care about this situation, they are just a formality. The military generals are not excited. They will not have any opinions anyway, they just go to the current clay Buddha. Almost all the civil and military sides have a consensus. Only Zu Dashou had the tone of Emperor Chongzhen in the past, so he was a little looking forward to it.
However, it has been almost two years. Apart from the primary martial arts hall in the capital, I have not seen any substantial improvement in the generals. To be honest, he was a little disappointed in his heart. But he also knew that there was too much resistance to changing the status of the generals. As long as Emperor Chongzhen kept remembering this, he would still be able to look forward to it.
At this time, the supervisors of the Five Army Governor's Office gathered in front of Wuying Hall. Although the weather was already a little cold and the wind was cold, they didn't care about this. They were just a little surprised after seeing their colleagues. When they communicated with each other, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Zu Dashou was delighted because they found that the emperor had distributed a booklet to each of them yesterday, which was different, involving all aspects of military training. Although many of the contents were excerpted from "Ji Xiao New Book", there were also many practical things. Zu Dashou had practical experience in leading troops, and at a glance, he knew that the emperor had found a special person to write it.
For example, the whistle detective who does not stop at night is more detailed than the content in "Ji Xiao New Book", and there are even explanations of many specific cases. There are also descriptions of firearms, how to use their power and how to protect them to reduce the damage to firearms. It can be said that the description of firearms is the most detailed and profound in the Ming Dynasty today. There are also explanations of how to face the severe cold, scorching heat, deserts, grasslands and other specific environments during marches and wars...
Zu Dashou guessed something in his mind. The emperor probably wanted to fulfill the promise he had said before. Thinking of this, he was very excited.
Emperor Chongzhen did not ask them to wait for long. With the sound of "The Emperor Arrived", Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of them.
Zu Dashou and others quickly greeted each other and secretly checked each other, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of them wearing a golden helmet and a golden armor, riding a tall horse. Behind the emperor, there were eunuchs such as Fang Zhenghua. Two of them were carrying something covered with red cloth in their hands, which seemed to be a plaque.
"Let's go, go to Beijing camp." Emperor Chongzhen didn't say nonsense, but just waved his hand to signal them.
Although Zu Dashou was the general of the Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, he was really poor in his leadership and served as the power to temporarily serve as the general of the Beijing camp. Therefore, he naturally understood the situation in the Jing camp. When he saw the emperor's posture, he saw the thing covered with red cloth, and he was not as inexplicable as other colleagues. Instead, he further confirmed his guess in his heart and couldn't help but feel very happy.
Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the Beijing camp, he did not go to the school ground for the training of the new army as before, but went straight to the primary martial arts hall of the capital.
Although the first batch of new troops had already graduated from the Beijing Junior Military Preparation Hall and had fought in Liaodong, there are still students in the Beijing Junior Military Preparation Hall, all of whom are low-level officers of the subsequent new troops.
With the arrival of the emperor, all the teachers and students of the Primary Martial Arts Hall of the Capital came out to welcome him. In the small square in the Primary Martial Arts Hall of the Capital, people were all standing there.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at these low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty and found Li Zicheng and his intermediate officers. He stood in the corner next to him, separated from the others in a clear space.
Looking at the eyes of these people below, with some excitement and confusion, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since the establishment of the Primary Martial Preparation Hall of the Capital, it has cultivated many talents for the Ming Dynasty. Now they have made great military achievements in Liaodong and laid a solid foundation for our Ming Dynasty to restore the Liao territory. I feel very comforted by this!"
They naturally heard about the deeds of their predecessors. When they heard the emperor say that they all became more excited.
"But they were originally the elites I selected from millions of border troops. Therefore, although the content of the professors in the Primary Martial Arts Hall in the Capital was small, they could already allow them to hang on the battlefield." Emperor Chongzhen said this and said a little serious, "But in the future, the soldiers in the Primary Martial Arts Hall in the Capital could not have such a good foundation as they did. This requires a step-by-step ability to learn to kill enemies on the battlefield."
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he suddenly asked a question: "Do you know why I named it the Primary Martial Preparation Hall of the Capital?"
Hearing this, whether it was the standing student, Li Zicheng who had just arrived in the capital, or the chief officials of the Five Army Governor's Office, they were a little surprised and guessed. But Zu Dashou was already 100% sure at this time, and what the emperor agreed to began to further advance. Thinking of this, although his cunning was deep, his smile could not be suppressed.
Of course, no one would come forward to answer this question from Emperor Chongzhen. He did not think about asking for answers, but just adopted this self-question method: "I want to prepare you with more in-depth martial arts knowledge, which can allow you to understand the changing battlefield more deeply, learn more about killing enemies, and make less bleeding on the battlefield!"
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and held the two eunuchs covered with things in red cloth, and walked in front of Emperor Chongzhen in unison.
This time, the focus of the audience was on the thing covered by the red cloth. Many people were very curious and didn't know what was covered under the red cloth, and what was related to what the emperor said just now?
Li Zicheng was also a little puzzled. Since he arrived in the capital yesterday, he moved into the capital camp and came to the capital junior martial arts hall. He was so excited that he was puzzled after asking about the situation. Because the priest of the capital junior martial arts hall was just the governor and magistrate Zu Dashou of the Governor's Office, and the lecturers were just ordinary people. The emperor who agreed to teach him personally? Even if it was just a name, it was just a name for the Governor and magistrate?
In this case, how could the emperor not teach himself? After all, the biggest person in the Wubei Hall is the governor Tongzhi, and the emperor cannot be under him. It seems impossible to temporarily dismiss the position of the governor Tongzhi for his sake for others?
Looking at the things covered with red cloth, Li Zicheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, wondering whether the emperor's words were just now, and he would have set up another martial arts hall for the sake of himself and others?
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng suddenly became a little excited. But then he calmed down immediately. Who was he? He was just a guerrilla in the border area, and he was a thief. How could the emperor set up another martial arts hall for this? Fortunately, no one knew this idea, otherwise it would have become a joke, and he would not look at how much he weighed!
He was thinking about it, but when Emperor Chongzhen reached out and opened the red cloth, a plaque was exposed. Everyone, including Li Zicheng, immediately looked at the words on the plaque.
"The Ming Dynasty's Advanced Martial Arts Hall"
It was just a simple seven words, but it surprised everyone who knew these words, and then it was excitement.
Li Zicheng even opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that he had set up another martial arts hall, and from the name, it was obviously a more powerful yamen. The primary martial arts hall of the capital, the advanced martial arts hall of the Ming Dynasty, which is more important than the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention the primary or advanced! The content of the words the emperor just said is all on this plaque.
Li Zicheng really didn't expect that the emperor's attention to the so-called Siberia had reached such a point. For them, a new yamen such as the "Ming Ming Higher Martial Arts Hall" was set up. Thinking that the emperor wanted to teach himself, he suddenly looked forward to this Ming Higher Martial Arts Hall.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the audience and said: "In the future, there will be more than the primary martial arts halls in the capital. I will set up the primary martial arts halls in other places as needed. After graduating from the primary martial arts hall or making contributions on the battlefield, the soldiers who have entered the Ming Dynasty's advanced martial arts hall for further study, and I will entrust them with important tasks!"
Speaking of this, he raised his voice and announced louder: "I will personally serve as the sacrificial sacrificial sect in this Ming Dynasty, and the governors of the Governor's Office will be responsible for various departments..."
Few people could listen to the words behind Emperor Chongzhen. They were all shocked by Emperor Chongzhen's words just now. Except for Li Zicheng, no one else, including Zu Dashou, expected that the emperor would personally serve as the priest of the Ming Dynasty's High-level Martial Arts Hall. In this way, the status of the Ming Dynasty's High-level Martial Arts Hall would be promoted very high. You should know that the Jinshi of the Liberal Arts and the so-called emperor's disciples are only the emperor's disciples. However, the people in the Ming Dynasty's Senior Martial Arts Hall have their priests themselves, which is even more powerful than the so-called emperor's disciples!
The emperor personally served as the sacrificial wine, and it would be reasonable for the governors of the Five Army Governors' Office, the highest military officer of the Ming Dynasty, to serve as the Siye. The specifications of this Ming Dynasty's high-level martial arts hall are so high that they are taught in the same shit, and they may become a place where many martial artists of the Ming Dynasty want to enter!
This time, the governors of the Five Army Governor's Office were overjoyed. With the emperor as the sacrificial wine sacrificial wine sacrificial wine sacrificial wine sacrificial martial arts hall will no longer be a decoration, and the Ministry of War will not be able to compete with the emperor. This means that the noblest origin of the Ming generals is the Ming advanced martial arts hall; in the future, many of the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty will come from the Ming advanced martial arts hall. In other words, at least from now on, the power to command troops will truly return to the hands of the Five Army Governor's Office!
They were thinking, but Emperor Chongzhen personally led the eunuchs to a house in the primary martial arts hall of the capital and hung the plaque. Seeing that everything was very simple, it was just a plaque and a room, but it became the place where everyone was most jealous.
No surprise, when Li Zicheng and others were declared the first batch of students by Emperor Chongzhen, their eyes were almost jealous and envious!
Chapter completed!
